During an election rally in Gujarat Rawal said, “Gas cylinders are expensive, but their price will come down. People will get employment too. But what will happen if Rohingya migrants and Bangladeshis start living around you, like in Delhi? What will you do with gas cylinders? Cook fish for the Bengalis?” he said. The comments did not go down well with many. The actor was accused of hurting the sentiments of Bengali people with his words.”
