HE has strongly backed Nupur Sharma, the now suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) member, over her controversial remarks on Prophet Muhammad. Geert Wilders, a right-wing parliamentarian from the Netherlands has said time and again that Sharma did no wrong by uttering the words she did and claimed that he even received death threats from Muslims for his stance.
However, the Party for Freedom leader, who also said recently that he respects Hinduism more than Islam, got upset when the Indian ambassador to the Netherlands allegedly refused to meet him and called it a shame.

Wilders, 58, tweeted on Wednesday (15) saying, “I try to get a meeting with Ambassador Reenat Sandhu of India in The Hague for a meeting to express my strong support for #NupurSharma but the Ambassador seems unwilling to meet. Excuses all the time. What a shame.”
Twitter divided over Wilders's words
Twitter was divided over Wilders’s frustration. While some felt that it was indeed shameful on part of the Indian envoy to refuse meeting the Dutch politician, there were others who opined that the Indian ambassador had no business meeting a political opponent of the current ruling party of the Netherlands.
