Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra, who caused a flutter saying he doesn’t wear a face mask at any government events, has now expressed regret for his statement after facing backlash from the Opposition.
“My statement over wearing a mask appears to be a violation of law. It wasn’t in line with sentiment of the PM,” the senior BJP leader.
Mishra added: “I accept my mistake and express regret. I’ll wear mask. I also appeal to everyone to wear mask and observe social distancing”.
On Wednesday, at an event in Indore, when asked why he was not wearing a mask, Mishra had said, “I don’t wear a mask in any programmes. ‘Isme kya hota hai?’ (so what).”
