Sri Sri Ravi Shankar 'misquoted' over Nobel Peace Prize: Art of Living

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has stirred the hornet's nest by saying that Pakistani child activist Malala Yousafzai did not deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

New Delhi: Amidst furore over Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's statement that he had rejected the Nobel Peace Prize, the Art of Living Foundation on Tuesday said that Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was 'misquoted'.

Taking to Twitter, the AOL said that the spiritual guru never said that he was offered Nobel Peace Prize.

Gurudev @SriSri Ravi Shankar ji has never said that he was offered Nobel Prize. Hoping media will correct the reporting error.
