Speaking to GHOne TV, Mr. Abu Jinapor, said he didn’t know such words had been uttered and he would never utter such words.
“With all modesty, I attest to the fact that I don’t speak in that nature, and I don’t speak in that manner. The words which are been falsely attributed to me are not words that I will ever use in fact that is not the way I speak.
“I didn’t even know that such words have been uttered, I found out this morning when this trending video was brought to my attention and what I can say to that is totally force it cannot be correct, to anyone who has followed my life and career will come to the conclusion that Abu Jinapor will not speak that way”.
He continued: “I don’t speak across the aisle when I’m in parliament and when I have anything to say I make the effort to catch the speaker’s attention, and I say publicly so it is totally false”.
