Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MP Majid Memom has triggered a controversy after he said that Sushant Singh Rajput was not as famous before his death. Memon said that the actor has become more famous after his demise.
“Sushant was not as famous during his lifetime as he is after his death. The space in media he is occupying nowadays is perhaps more than our PM or President of US! (sic)” Memom tweeted on Wednesday.
However, NCP was quick to distance itself from the remarks saying that the statement made by Majeed Memom on Twitter is his personal opinion and not the party.
“The statement made by Majeed Memon on twitter is his personal opinion and not of the NCP. Our party does not endorse or support his statement in any form or manner. He is not a spokesperson of the NCP which must be noted by all,” NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik said.
Memom also raised objection to the handling of Sushant Singh Rajput death case by the media. He said that secrecy has to be maintained when a crime is at the investigation stage.
Publicising every development in the process of collecting vital evidence adversely affects the interest of truth and justice, Memon who is also a renowned lawyer said. However, his remarks were not received well on social media with several tweeples expressing displeasure.
Reacting to this, Memom clarified that his tweet doesn’t insult Sushant Singh Rajput in any way while adding that misinterpretation should be avoided.
“There is so much noise on my tweet on Sushant. Does it mean that Sushant was not popular during his lifetime or that he should not get justice? Certainly not. Misinterpretation should be avoided. The tweet doesn't in any way insults or belittle him,” he said.
