BJP Disagrees With Tathagata’s Ban ‘Everything Kashmiri’ Tweet

Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy describes himself as a right-wing Hindu socio-political thinker on Twitter.

The BJP on Thursday, 21 February, expressed its disagreement over Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy's tweet backing the boycott of "everything Kashmiri" following the Pulwama terror attack and said the party did not agree with his views.

"I don't agree with his tweet. Matter ends there," party leader and Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.

Roy on Tuesday, 19 February, stoked controversy after he supported a call for a boycott of "everything Kashmiri", including the Amarnath Yatra and purchasing Kashmiri products.

Roy, who describes himself as a right-wing Hindu socio-political thinker, writer and ideologue on Twitter, went on the micro-blogging site to air his views.
