One of the supporters of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the filmmaker Anurag Kashyap says, he has grown up learning to question those that govern the country.
Anurag has posted a message on his official Facebook page: "I have been taught to engage and question those that govern us and I have been doing that since I was a student and V.P. Singh was the PM, followed by Congress and now BJP. I have been taught that your PM is the head of the state or country, who you can question, seek answers, argue with, but never fear him, because you chose him and he represents your well being."
"If one has to fear him than that's sad. Respect cannot be demanded it's commanded. It's earned. It does not deter me from asking and engaging."
The filmmaker, who says he has "zero political affiliation", he added.
After getting slammed tweets, he has continued supporting SLB, "It does not matter what you say or do, attack me physically or verbally, I will voice what I feel. You mobs don't scare me, my voice will always rise over your screaming and shouting, I embrace my truth and I do not fear accusations."
Kashyap further said, "Been taught to have the liberty to utter, argue, question freely according to my conscience, and above all, liberties. And I will always take that right... I believe in my Constitution, my rights, my liberties and I will take them and exercise them when I deem fit. So thank you for all this intense passionate love that you send my way, you are not going to stop me."
