Sorry, says DMK MP over ‘gaumutra States’ remark

New Delhi: DMK MP D N V Senthil Kumar on Wednesday apologised in the Lok Sabha for his controversial ‘gaumutra States’ remark which had sparked a backlash. Kumar had on Tuesday used a pejorative to describe Hindi heartland states while attacking the ruling BJP. His comments led to ruckus and adjournment in the House, and were expunged by Speaker Om Birla later.
