The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Smriti Irani slammed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Gujarat unit chief and called him 'guttermouth' after a new video of Gopal Italia surfaced wherein he can be heard making derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 100 year old mother Hira Ba and abusing her.
Sharing the video on her Twitter handle, Smriti Irani wrote, “Arvind Kejriwal, gutter mouth Gopal Italia now abuses Hira Ba with your blessings. I profer no outrage. I don’t want to show how indignant Gujaratis are but know this you have been judged & your party shall be decimated electorally in Gujarat. Now the people will deliver justice."
"Hira Ba is the form of Mother Shakti. Kejriwal's special Gopal Italia did not exclude 100-year-old Hira Ba from his politics of hate. There is no place for AAP and its warped mentality in a civilized society like Gujarat," Irani wrote in another tweet.
"In the name of Gujarat, such an insult to mother power will be judged by Gujaratis with their own votes," she added.
Earlier on Thursday, he was detained by Delhi Police for allegedly making derogatory remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, he was released after a few hours in detention.
