Veteran
actor
Anupam
Kher
had
a
piece
of
advice
for
newly-elected
MP
Gautam
Gambhir:
refrain
from
falling
into
the
'trap
of
getting
popular
with
a
section
of
media',
after
the
former
cricketer
criticised
the
alleged
assault
on
a
Muslim
man
in
Gurgaon.
Kher
took
to
Twitter
to
congratulate
Gambhir
on
his
recent
election
victory
and
also
advised
the
former
cricketer.
"Dear
@GautamGambhir
!!
Congratulations
on
your
win.
As
a
passionate
Indian
it
made
me
very
happy.
Not
that
you
have
asked
for
my
advise
but
still-
Don't
get
into
a
trap
of
getting
popular
with
a
section
of
media.
It
is
your
work
that
will
speak.
Not
necessarily
your
statements," he
tweeted.
The
25-year-old
Muslim
man
was
allegedly
slapped
by
a
group
of
people
in
Gurgaon
on
May
25.
He
was
also
reportedly
asked
to
remove
his
skull
cap
and
forced
to
chant
'Jai
Shri
Ram'.
The
East
Delhi
MP
had
termed
the
incident
as
'deplorable' and
asked
the
authorities
to
take
'exemplary'
action
in
the
matter.
"In
Gurugram
Muslim
man
told
to
remove
skullcap,
chant
Jai
Shri
Ram.
It
is
deplorable.
Exemplary
action
needed
by
Gurugram
authorities.
We
are
a
secular
nation
where
@Javedakhtarjadu
writes
'O
palan-hare,
nirgun
aur
nyare
&
@RakeyshOmMehra
gave
us
d
song
'Arziyan'
in
Delhi
6
(sic),"
Gambhir
had
said
in
a
tweet
on
Monday.
Gambhir
also
said
his
secularism
emanated
from
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi's
philosophy
of
'Sabka
Saath,
Sabka
Vikas'
and
added
that
any
oppression
based
on
caste
or
religion
is
deplorable.
"My
thoughts
on
secularism
emanate
from
honourable
PM
Mr
Modi's
mantra
"Sabka
Saath,
Sabka
Vikas"..
I
am
not
limiting
myself
to
Gurugram
incident
alone,
any
oppression
based
on
caste/religion
is
deplorable.
Tolerance
&
inclusive
growth
is
what
the
idea
of
India
is
based
on," he
said
in
another
tweet.
His
comments,
however,
did
not
go
down
well
with
a
section
of
his
partymen
in
Delhi
who
said
the
cricketer-turned-politician's
remarks
might
be
used
against
the
BJP
by
the
opposition
parties.
Gambhir,
who
joined
the
BJP
before
the
recent
Lok
Sabha
polls,
contested
from
East
Delhi
seat
and
defeated
Congress's
Arvinder
Singh
Lovely
by
3.91
lakh
votes.
