But they were not all awarded by the present Govt. Any sense in Ray returning..@...award for Pather Panchali that he rcvd in 1956, for instance? We shd send a joint letter of protest to the President instead. "Let us all sign a joint letter to the President to protest against the curbing of freedom of speech. Who will draft the letter?,” she claimed.
Raghu Ram also gave his vote in the favor of SRK. He tweeted, “These clowns are no one to question anyone’s patriotism. Honest criticism isn’t anti-national. It’s democratic #IStandwith SRK,” he added, “Imo anyone who attacks critics as anti-national coz of their religion is anti-democracy, and hence, anti-national themselves #IStandwith SRK”
The Bajrangi Bhaijaan star Salman Khan refused to give any comment over the debate of BJP. He said that he is unable to judge the people with their remarks and as he was unaware of the statements of SRK on the issue of intolerance that’s why he could not give any answer about it. But further he added by giving the message as, “We all are humans, and should live in harmony. We all are here, we are sitting beside each other, does anything make it different? It doesn't matter. I believe that we are all Indians, we are all humans and we should love each other and live together. That is what my organisation Being Human is about. We don't go on asking who are you and where are you from and I don't believe in this at all.”
