Kumar Vishwas a leader of Aam Admi Party who in his speech derogatory remarked against Kerala nurses put him in controversy in Kerala and have been asked to make apologies over his comments for Kerala Nurses.

“It has come to my knowledge that an old video-clip of one of my kavi sammelans has hurt the feelings of many of my friends residing in Kerala. I must say that I don’t appreciate any discrimination based on religion, region, gender, caste or creed. I never tried to intentionally hurt the sentiments of anyone”, he stated.

Viswas said jokes delivered in a kavi sammelan are scripted and presented in a jocular and lighthearted manner without an intention to harm anybody’s feelings. “But if some words of mine have hurt the sentiments of my friends, I apologize to them from depth of my heart”, he said.

The comments of Vishwas against Malayali nurses made in a speech at Ranchi in 2008, uploaded in a social networking site recently, had sparked strong protests across the state, with Youth Congress workers ransacking AAP’s office here on January 20.
