On Tuesday, another BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya had triggered a controversy when he tweeted that Shah Rukh's "soul" is in Pakistan though he lives in India. His remarks had come a day after the actor said there is "extreme intolerance" in the country.
However, under fire for his remarks, Vijayvargiya on Wednesday withdrew his tweets but asserted that had there been intolerance in India, Shah Rukh would not have been the most popular actor after Amitabh Bachchan.
