PM slams party workers speaking against Bollywood.

The
Prime Minister on Tuesday while addressing the party workers on the second
& final day of BJP's National Executive Meeting held in New Delhi asks the
workers/members to avoid unnecessary comments on Bollywood or movies.
PM
Modi told its party workers and leaders to refrain from making
"unnecessary remarks" on irrelevant issues like movies.
PM
Modi stated while doing so it overshadows all the hard work the party does for
the development of the country.
He
says, sometimes some party workers or leaders comment on a movie and the entire
narrative changes.
According
to reports, the PM said that when someone comments on irrelevant topics such as
movies, the party's focus on bigger issues or the party's development agenda is
left behind.
In
recent times, we have come across such news where we see BJP's leader or part
workers have directly or indirectly commented on Bollywood movies.
The
latest one on the news is the upcoming Bollywood movie Pathaan starring Shah
Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone where we have seen several BJP leaders have
commented on the movie's song, Besharam Rang.
Glimpse from the song, Besharam Rang.
Madhya
Pradesh's minister Narottam Mishra just after the release of the song,
commented on Deepika's attire and the color of the costume, which is saffron.
Many right wing activists and leaders, workers said that the song "hurts
religious sentiments", its objectionable and that it should be rectified.
Another
one, Paramhans Acharya, a seer from Ayodhya made a shocking statement right
after stating he will burn Shah Rukh Khan alive.
He
said, "Today we burnt his posters. The movie Pathaan has insulted the
saffron colour. If I find jihadi Shah Rukh Khan anywhere, I will burn him
alive. "
When
reporters asked Mishra about PM Modi's speech at the NECNEC where he apparently
commented that a minister keeps commenting on films, the Minister said no name
was taken.
"His
every word and every sentence is important to us. That's why all the workers
have brought inspiration from there. Our conduct and behavior have been filled
with their guidance and energy, and will continue to be filled," Mishra
told the reporters.
Last
year, in October, Mishra commented on the movie, Adipurush's portrayal of Hindu
deities.
He
raised questions over the portrayal of Hindu deities Hanuman, Sita and Ravan in
the teaser of Adipurush.
"In
our religious texts, the attire of Hanuman ji is clearly described. Instead,
the teaser shows him wearing a leather outfit. His skin is shown dark instead
of red. We believe whatever is written in our texts is correct," Narottam
Mishra said while speaking to India Today TV.
"Filmmaker
Ashoke Pandit, president of the Indian Film & Television Directors’
Association (IFTDA), said that PM Modi’s speech is a “big boost of confidence”
for the Hindi film industry, which has been fighting a perception battle,"
as reported by the Indian Express.
