The controversial tweet in question had sparked backlash on social media, where Govinda was subjected to trolling and criticism. The tweet was written in response to a video from Haryana. It read, “What have we come down to? Shame on the people who call themselves Hindus and do such things. Aman aur shanti banaye, hum democracy hai, autocracy nahi!”
Although Govinda is not actively involved in politics at present, he had previously served as a Congress Member of Parliament from 2004 to 2009. During that time, he had been elected from Maharashtra’s Mumbai North constituency after defeating BJP leader Ram Naik.
