Maharashtra BJP President Chandrakant Patil has apologised for his "go home and cook" remark against Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MP Supriya Sule, said the chairperson of the state women's commission on May 29.
The apology came in response to a notice sent to Mr. Patil by the commission in the wake of his remark. Reacting to it, Ms. Sule said through his apology, Mr. Patil has shown his "large-heartedness", and appealed to everyone to put the matter to rest.
Talking to reporters, Rupali Chakankar, chairperson of the Maharashtra State Commission For Women, said, "The commission had sent a notice to Mr. Patil over his comments against Ms. Sule and Mr. Patil had responded by apologising for the remarks, which he said were made out of disappointment over the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) not getting political reservation."
