Yogi Adityanath lashes out at Anupam Kher
BJP MP Yogi Adityanath counter attacked on veteran actor Anupam Kher after the latter remarked at the Telegraph Debate in Kolkata that people like Yogi Adityanath and Sadhvi Prachi should be thrown out of the party, they should be jailed for speaking non-sense.
Hitting back at Anupam Kher, Yogi Adityanath called Kher a ‘real life villain’. He was quoted by a daily saying, "Everyone knows about the character of a villain. Kher is not only a reel life villain, but also in real life. I don't want to say anything more on his statement made in Kolkata.”
Anupam Kher had said in the Telegraph Annual Debate: "There are some people in the party (BJP) who speak nonsense, and ill-behave, whether it is Sadhvi or Yogi...they should be put behind bars, thrown out of the party (...Hain kuch log aise party mein jo bakwas karte hain, chahe wo Sadhvi hon ya Yogi ho, unko andar kar dena chahiye aur unko nikal dena chahiye)," Kher said.
"...But, you can't play with the entire country and say that we have intolerance here (...magar aap pure desh ke saath khilwad nahin kar sakte ki hamare desh meyn intolerance hai," he said.
Speaking at the Telegraph National Debate on intolerance, the noted actor also took a dig at congress MP Digvijayaji and Rahul Gandhi.
Anupam Kher also spoke on the heated issue “intolerance”. This is a no debate. The rich and the famous are talking of intolerance. If you ask a man on the street, he won't talk about intolerance. All they want is food two times a day. Those with a champagne glass are only talking about it. Are you living in India or America," Kher had said.
