Pervert mindset: Supriya Sule on ‘defamatory’ post against Pawar

The Baramati MP even thanked her political adversaries for unequivocally condemning the controversial post

NCP MP Supriya Sule on Sunday lashed out at Ketaki Chitale, the Marathi actress who allegedly shared a defamatory post against Sule's father and NCP chief Sharad Pawar. In her strong remarks against Chitale's virtual thoughts, Sule asserted that a perverted mindset is not good for society.

The actress was arrested on Saturday from Navi Mumbai over the post she allegedly shared on her Facebook page. The controversial upload was purportedly written by someone else. It contained phrases like "hell is waiting" and "you hate Brahmins", allegedly referring to the NCP president.

"I don't know her. This is the issue of culture. I am thankful to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, leader of opposition Devendra Fadnavis and MNS chief Raj Thackeray for speaking out against such a post," Sule told reporters in Nashik.

Queried on whether she supports protests by NCP workers against Chitale, the Baramati MP said the issue is about culture when someone wishes death to your parents and someone you idolise in public life. "Pervert mindset is not good for society," she said.

On Saturday, workers of NCP's women wing had thrown black ink and eggs at Chitale outside the Kalamboli police station in Navi Mumbai.

Sule said she didn't support the attack on Chitale by NCP's women workers.

"Misuse of social media is serious. I have been nurtured with middle-class Marathi values. Abusing anyone is not part of my culture.

Despite many attacks in his 55 years of political life, my father did not answer anyone in this manner. Speaking or wishing about one's father's death or any person's death fits in which culture?" she asked.
