BJP leader Varun Gandhi, who is caught in the line of fire for his 'hate speech', may be claiming that the tapes have been doctored, the blog world is abuzz with many of them slamming the young Gandhi.

One of the bloggers has written, "Hindus don't need Varun Gandhi to protect them. It is deplorable that even the younger crop indulges in such non-issues."

Another blogger said "Does Varun Need to be Reminded of Who an Indian Is? Or Is he so stuck Neck Deep in Divisive Politics of Hate that he wants to be left there. The Only way he can make it to the News is through his un-Indian Remarks. Some one tell him to go and stay with a Dalit Household for a Night and see and feel what the True India is. It is not about Voting Politics but understanding what this country stands for. If Varun is willing to Scrape the Indian Preamble of a "Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic" Every State in India will want an Independent Nation free from UP, Bihar Politics."

"This is disgusting and vile. The best way to reign in Varun would be for his own party to condemn him," another blogger said.

Others have described the move as 'sad and shocking, coming from a 28-year-old politician who was praised as a poet and a man of vision'.

Meanwhile, caught in the line of fire over attacking Muslims in his constituency Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh, Varun Gandhi said that he will be holding a press conference in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Speaking to NDTV, he said he will be making a detailed rebuttal of the tape containing his speech.

He has also questioned the authenticity of the CD, which is being shown and said parts of the tape have been slashed and doctored.

Questioning the authenticity of the tapes, he said why is so much of the footage blurry and shot from a distance? And why was the CD released so many days after it was recorded?

"I make no reference to Muslims on tape and I have made no abusive remarks about Muslim. I only refer to Hindus in the context of the rape of four Hindu girls," he said.
