Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is once again surrounded by controversy now. After the Yamuna Floodplain incident, he is now trending on Twitter owing to his comments on Nobel Peace Prize and Malala Yousafzai.
When he visited Latur this Saturday for reviewing the drought situation, a journalist asked him whether he had interest in getting a Nobel Prize for Peace.
He replied “I was in the past offered the Nobel Peace Prize, but I had rejected it as I only believe in working and not in being honoured for my work. We should always honour only to those who deserve it and I am totally against honouring Malala Yousafzai with the prize and it is of no use.
He further stated that the award doesn’t hold importance if it is being offered to a 16 year old without seeing what is contributed. After that twitter went crazy! Check out!
Someone asked if this was true!
Dear @NobelPrize -Can you please confirm is this is true? – @SriSri says he was offered the Nobel but declined https://t.co/TF10Rq1DVY
