January 13, 2015
After his controversial remarks over the LGBT community drew flak, Goa minister Ramesh Tawadkar today did a u-turn over the issue saying he was misunderstood and misquoted on the issue.
"I was misunderstood and misquoted. I was not talking about the LGBT (youths) but about drug addicted and sexually abused youths," Tawadkar told PTI, even as local channels continued to air the footage where he assured medical treatment to make LGBT youths "normal".
