Virat and Anushka recently got married at a private function in Italy's Tuscany recently.
BJP MLA from Guna Pannalal Shakya had on Tuesday said, "Virat earned money in India... But he didn't find any place to marry in the country. Is Hindustan untouchable?"
"Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, Vikramaditya, Yudhishthir got married on this land. You all must have got married here. None of us goes to a foreign country to get married...(Kohli) earned money here (India) and spent billions there (Italy)...(he) doesn't have any respect for the country. This proves he is not a patriot," Shakhya had claimed.
