BJP MP Nepal Singh tendered apology for his statement on army jawans while saying, it was misinterpreted.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nepal Singh who on Tuesday sparked a controversy by saying that those in Army bound to die later apologised for his remarks.

"I didn't intend to disrespect the Army. I am saddened. I apologise for my statement but it didn't say anything like this. I had said that scientists are trying to invent such a device, which can avert the bullet so that soldier can be protected," the BJP parliamentarian from Rampur said.

Earlier, when asked about the recent deaths of Indian Army soldiers in Pakistan ceasefire violations and recent terror attack at a CRPF camp, the BJP MP had said, "Ye to roz marenge Army mein, koi aisa desh hai jahan army ka aadmi na marta ho jhagde mein? Gaon mein bhi jhagda hota hai to ek na ek to ghaayal hoga hi! Koi aisi device batao, jisse aadmi na mare? Aisi cheez batao ki goli kaam na kare, use karwa dein." (They will die every day in the Army. Is there any country whose soldiers do not die while fighting? Even in villages if there is a scuffle, at least one person will get hurt. Name a device from which people do not die? Tell one such thing which can stop the bullet).
