| Under fire, Ravi Shankar Prasad withdraws remark using movie earnings to judge economy | | | Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday withdrew his statement in which he had given the example of the earnings of three blockbuster movies to claim that there is no economic slowdown in the country.
"Entire video of my media interaction is available on my social media. Yet I regret to note that one part of my statement has been completely twisted out of context. Being a sensitive person I withdraw my comment," Prasad said in a press statement.
The law minister, however, added that his comments were factually correct and he made the statement as he was in Mumbai - which is home to Bollywood. "My comments made yesterday in Mumbai about 3 films making Rs 120 Cr in a single day- the highest ever, was a factually correct statement. I had stated this as I was in Mumbai- the film capital of India.
