Controversial leader of the right-wing Hindutva group, Pravin Togadia, on Friday an extraordinarily controversial statement by stating that he wanted Hindu man to worship his manhood at home to rid the growing complaints of impotency among them, he claimed, was a reason for dwindling population in India.
While addressing a rally in Gujarat’s Bharuch district on Friday, Togadia flashed a bottle of medicine and said, “go home and worship your manhood.”
As expected, while his statement left the suporters of right-wing groups in a spot of considerable bother, an overwhelming majority of social media users were either incensed or amused.
Even as champions of Hindutva politics maintained stoic silence, active social users particularly on Twitter appeared in no mood to let the opportunity to mock and condemn Togadia go.
Here are some of the quirky and seriously critical posts on Togadia’s statements.
the dominating theme of social media conversation was users asking Togadia if he could educate them just how he expected Hindu men to worship their manhood.
Here are some reactions:

Correction: Togadia was addressing #Bhakts (Hindu men with uniquely different mind set, if at all they have a mind) https://t.co/Jgt91NOCFp

Worshiping own manhood won't fertilize anything! #SexEducation is much needed in India. Also contraceptive access. https://t.co/atqSsLjWCB
