‘Fashionable To Hate Muslims’: Naseeruddin Shah Slams Government For Spreading Islamophobia!

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah is counted among those Bollywood stars whose acting is convincing to the entire country. The actor received received accolades for his web series ‘Taj:Divided By Blood’ which was released some time ago. Besides his work, Naseeruddin is also known for putting his point of view in a straightforward and bold way. In a recent interview, the actor gave frank answers on every issue existing in country currently.

Taking a jibe at the present government and recent film ‘The Kerala Story’, Naseeruddin said that hatred against Muslims has become fashionable now and even the ruling party is spreading it cleverly through cinema. The actor stated, “Some films and shows are being used as propaganda. Along with this, these are also used to get votes in elections. The ruling party is using them cleverly. This is the reason why it has become fashionable even for educated people to hate Muslims these days.”

Calling it a ‘worrying time’, Naseeruddin furthermore quoted, “The Election Commission also remain silent when political parties use religion for winning in polls.On the other hand, if any Muslim leader had asked for votes by saying ‘Allah Hu Akbar’, there would have been a big ruckus by now.”

Targeting PM Modi, the actor said that even our Prime Minister uses all these things nowadays but still loses. That’s why he hopes that it ends soon.

Meanwhile, Naseeruddin Shah appeared last in the web series titled ‘Taj:Divided By Blood’ alongside Aditi Rao Hydari, Aashim Gulati, Dharmendra, Sandhya Mridul, and Rahul Bose. It is streaming on Zee5.
