Tejashwi Yadav Asked To File New Statement Withdrawing Remark On Gujaratis

Tejashwi Yadav had earlier filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court withdrawing his alleged "Gujarati thugs" remark.

The Supreme Court on Monday directed RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav to file a "proper statement" withdrawing his alleged remark that "only Gujaratis can be thugs".

A bench of Justices A S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan granted one week to Mr Yadav to file a new statement after the complainant raised an objection over his earlier affidavit.

"We grant time of one week to the petitioner to file a proper statement," the bench said while posting the matter for next hearing on February 5.
