Taunted PM Modi

In a recent interview, Naseeruddin said, “The silence of the government on this issue is shocking and it is clearly a sign of tacit approval. This hatred is always there, it is always there in embryo, it is always there waiting to blossom.” , And finally it has happened. These things are beyond my understanding. It has all accumulated and exploded and the political system has very wisely and very cleverly used it to its advantage.”

Government Needs To Improve The Language

In this interview, Naseeruddin was also asked that he holds the Modi government directly responsible for hate speech. To this question, Naseeruddin said, “We will hang them upside down.
