Zeliang says ‘sexist’ remark made in humour

Dimapur, March 1 (EMN): Former chief minister, and the current leader of opposition, TR Zeliang on Friday apologised ‘if’ the sexist remark he had made during the recently concluded Nagaland Legislative Assembly session had hurt the sentiments of the people, “particularly the women community.” “My statement that 'some men can please two girls, but no man can serve two masters' was never intended to hurt the sentiments of any section of the society, particularly the women community. “The phrase was uttered in good vein because humorous description of events or topics under discussion is a normal practice which is known to all members of the Legislative Assembly. However, if it has hurt the feelings of any section of the society, I apologise and retract my statement,” read a statement from the former chief minister.
