NEW DELHI: BJP MP Tejasvi Surya on Sunday landed in a controversy and was forced to delete his 2015 derogatory tweet on Arab women following a backlash on social media.A 2015 tweet from Surya making a derogatory comment on Arab women resurfaced on social media on Sunday forcing the BJP MP to delete his tweet."95% of Arab women have never had an orgasm in the last few hundred years! Every mother has produced kids as an act of sex and not love. @Tarek Fatah," the now-deleted tweet read.Social media, including several users from the Middle East, lashed out at the BJP MP for his insulting tweet."Pity your upbringing Tejasvi Surya," wrote a user from UAE."That respect for women couldn’t be instilled in you despite India having some great female leaders. Please note, if someday the govt bestows a foreign ministry to you, avoid travelling to Arab lands. You are not welcome here. This will be remembered," she added.The opposition, too, targeted the BJP MP for his disgraceful tweet."The BJP gives tickets to Praggya Singh Thakur and Tejasvi Surya etc because it helps popularise their hardline bigoted political profile. But the chickens usually come home to roost. Today, India stands embarrassed, humiliated," the national spokesperson of Congress, Sanjay Jha tweet."Arab countries should demand sacking of Tejasvi Surya from BJP to prove Narendra Modi walks the talk. There is not even a slap on the wrist," tweeted a Tamil Nadu-based blogger."This man is a member of parliament in India! PS- He is also a coward because he deleted his tweet!" wrote another Twitter user."This Tejasvi Surya is not only a disgrace to his party BJP but he is also an Insult to INDIA Flag of India and 1.3 Billion Indians! He is too enshrined in the Factory of Hate and Bigotry to warrant any upbringing," the backlash against Surya continued.Last year, the BJP MP was forced to delete another tweet, this one from 2014, where he had opposed women reservation in Parliament.His 2014 tweet: "With the exception of Womens' Reservation in Parliament, Modi govt agenda is inspiring. Dread d day when women's reservation becomes reality," was widely shared.
