Ahmedabad, June 19: Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator Pabubha Manek attempted to assault popular Ram kathakar Morari Bapu in Dwarka on Thursday over the latter's controversial remarks about Lord Krishna and his brother Balram. The attack on Morari Bapu was caught on camera as the spiritual leader was addressing the media at the Circuit House after visiting the Dwarkadheesh temple. Pabubha Manek was stopped by BJP MP Poonam Madam before he could harm Morari Bapu.
In the video that went viral on social media, Manek is seen aggressively charging at Bapu even as the stunned media persons watched. Poonam Madam, who was sitting next to Bapu, and another person intervened quickly and took Manek away before he could get near the preacher.
