Francis says sorry for his remarks

PANJIM: Two days after he called himself ‘Hindu-Christian’, deputy chief minister Francis D’Souza apologized if he had hurt anybody’s statement.

“I am sorry if I have hurt anyone’s sentiments. What I feel I said. According to you my opinion may be wrong but for me I am right,” he told a section of the reporters outside the Assembly complex on Monday. D’Souza’s earlier comments were made in support of his Cabinet colleague Pandurang Deepak Dhavalikar’s statement about establishing a Hindu Rashtra by PM Modi. 
“India is a Hindu nation. There is no doubt about it. It was a Hindu nation and always stay Hindu nation. India is a Hindu country. India is Hindustan. All Indians in Hindusthan are Hindus including me. I am a Christian Hindu. I am a Hindusthani. So you don’t have to make India a Hindu nation,” the deputy CM had said.
