Amitabh Slams Media Outlet For Twisting His Lord Krishna Invocation

The usually restrained Amitabh Bachchan on Monday took on a media outlet for misrepresenting his words in the praise of Lord Krishna, saying in an angry post that 10 per cent of his 50 million follower base is enough to strike back and is just waiting for his signal. 

His post on October 29 was simply an invocation to Lord Krishna, Bachchan wrote on social media platforms. He had said then, "Go bring your elephants, we will also... Haathi ghoda palki, Jai Kanhaiya Lal



ki."

The media outlet reported it saying that Bachchan was challenging his opponents by telling them, "Bring your elephants and horses." "For Krishna Kanhaiya, in the form of prayer, it's often chanted -'Haathi ghoda palki, Jai Kanhaiya Lal ki ' And the media, by disrespecting it, prints it for their own publicity...," a furious Bachchan responded in Hindi. 

This, he said, was not only a "grave insult" to the 'Jai Shri Krishna' invocation but also a deliberate attempt to twist his words.
