New Delhi, May 30 (TIWN): Facing a backlash on Twitter after describing the alleged attack on a Muslim man in Gurgaon as deplorable and urging authorities to act, newly elected BJP MP Gautam Gambhir told The Indian Express that trolls and critics are not a problem and he will continue to live in black and white , and that it is easier to say the truth rather than hide behind the froth of falsehood .

Reacting to the alleged attack on 25-year-old Mohammad Barkat Aalam, who said his skull cap was thrown on the ground while he was returning from a mosque Saturday, Gambhir, elected MP from East Delhi, first tweeted: In Gurugram Muslim man told to remove skullcap, chant Jai Shri Ram. It is deplorable. Exemplary action needed by Gurugram authorities. We are a secular nation where Javed Akhtar writes O Palan hare, nirgun aur nyare and Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra gave us the song Arziyan in Delhi 6.
