Shahbaz Gill visits Ramesh Kumar to offer apology for 'hurtful' remarks

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shahbaz Gill has offered an apology to minority MNA Ramesh Kumar for passing derogatory remarks against him on a TV talk show ahead of the vote of no confidence against former premier Imran Khan last year.

The PTI leader visited Kumar's house on Saturday and said that his words must have been "hurtful", and that he was sorry for the unfortunate exchange of remarks between them during the TV show.

Gill also tweeted a video of his meeting with Kumar and wrote that he was currently facing dozens of cases including the defamation cases filed by the Sharif family, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and others, which he would fight in the court.

However, he added: "Ramesh Kumar is from a minority, so I went to him today because my struggle is against the class system, and I don't want to fight with any minority. "

In response, Kumar also took to Twitter and posted a picture of the meeting saying: "Today Shahbaz Gill came to my home to apologise and express regret over the remarks."

He added: "As it is our tradition in Sindh when someone comes to our home, we forgive them."

Ramesh also announced the withdrawal of the defamation case filed by him against the PTI leader.

It should be noted that last year, Shahbaz Gill used inappropriate words for Ramesh Kumar in a TV show.
