Sadhvi Prachi calls Shah Rukh Khan a ‘Pakistani Agent’

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan had recently remarked that religious intolerance is on the increase in India. He had said, “There is intolerance, there is extreme intolerance… there is I think… there is growing intolerance. It is stupid to be intolerant and this is our biggest issue. Religious intolerance and not being secular in this country is the worst kind of crime that you can do as a patriot. If there is intolerance to creativity, intolerance through religion, we are taking away every step that the nation is taking forward.”

The Khan’s comments did not go down well with the senior BJP leaders and firebrand Hindutva leader Sadhvi Prachi. The duo branded the actor as a Pakistani agent, going as far as to say that though SRK lives in India his soul is in Pakistan, so he should leave India and settle down in Pakistan.

These irrational comments of the leaders were slammed by Politicians and Bollywood celebrities, who tweeted their support to Shah Rukh Khan.

Filmmaker Aparna Sen not only lashed out against Prachi but also called out for a legal action against the leader. “Can’t believe Sadhvi’s reaction to SRK on tv! They’re ones who want to break the country apart! There should be legal action against her!” tweeted the National Award winner.

TMC national spokesperson Derek O’Brien termed the comments by Vijayvargiya ‘sickening’. “Sickening remarks against Shah Rukh Khan by BJP general secretary also Bengal in-charge. What kind of attitude is this? Everyone else is bad and only you are good?” Derek said in a statement.

Sadhvi Prachi had earlier too lashed out against Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan blaming them for “spreading a culture of violence” and advised youngsters not to idolise the Bollywood actors.
