WATCH VIDEO: MLA Manjinder S Sirsa Will NOT Apologise Over His Tweet On Celebs At Karan Johar's Party!

Akali Dal MLA Manjinder S. Sirsa refused to backtrack from his diatribe against B-town actors at Karan Johar's bash.

New Delhi: Disgusted that his state Punjab was derided by Bollywood as a drugs haven in the film "Udta Punjab", Akali Dal MLA Manjinder S. Sirsa on Wednesday refused to backtrack from his diatribe against B-town actors, including Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor, for flaunting their "drugged state" at a party. Filmmaker Karan Johar recently shared a video of the party that was attended by top stars including Deepika, Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Arjun Kapoor and Shahid, captioning it "Saturday Night Vibes". Sharing the video with a reference to the Shahid-starrer "Udta Punjab", which dealt with drug abuse, Sirsa tweeted: "#UDTABollywood - Fiction Vs Reality. Watch how the high and mighty of Bollywood proudly flaunt their drugged state. I raise my voice against #DrugAbuse by these stars. RT if you too feel disgusted @shahidkapoor @deepikapadukone @arjunk2@Varun_dvn @karanjohar @vickykaushal09." With the Twitterati going berserk over his tweet, the Akali Dal leader said the youth look upon the celebrities who should feel ashamed for defaming Punjab when they themselves indulged in drugs related activities. "Nobody in the whole world can force me to apologise to drug addicts. I will stand by what I said. These people were doing drugs, they are drug addicts. They are ruining the society and jail is the right place for them, not society. Those who are asking me to apologise need to go and see who all are indulging in drugs," Sirsa said. The actors were yet to comment on the issue but politician Milind Deora refuted Sirsa's claims. "My wife was also present that evening (and is in the video). Nobody was in a 'drugged state', so stop spreading lies and defaming people you don't know! I hope you will show the courage to tender an unconditional apology," he tweeted. Sirsa also said that he didn't know that Deora's wife was in the video. "But I want to say this with conviction that Bollywood stars are indulging in drugs in the video," Sirsa responded. He said all this in a video posted on his Twitter account with the caption, "Neither I know @milinddeora; nor his family. I didn’t share this video to harass anyone but to expose Bollywood stars who are themselves into drugs yet defamed our youth calling them drug addict!! I would never apologise to these drug addicts."
