The veteran actress Shabana Azmi is very upset with Karan Johar dealt with Raj Thackeray for a smooth release of his flick Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

The actress said, “ADHM has been passed by the Censor Board. Home Minister Rajnath Singh promised safe passage for the film’s release. The matter should have ended there.”

She added, “The role of the Maharashtra Chief Minister was clear. He had to ensure that law and order is enforced. Instead, he brokers a deal between the producers and Raj Thackeray who places a price of Rs 5 crores for display of patriotism?"

“What a shameful state of affairs and such a blatant expression of double-speak for which the Sangh Parivar is notorious!” she further says.

“The BJP should demand an explanation from Devendra Fadnavis for disrespecting the Home Minister’s words.”
“Is Raj Thackeray going to decide whether I am patriotic or not? I abide by the Indian constitution. Raj Thackeray does not. His patriotism should be up for questioning,” Shabana added.
