Samajwadi Party deputy Jaya Bachchan spoke about an alleged “conspiracy to defame the film industry” on the second day of the Monsoon Session in Parliament. She had given a Zero Hour notice in Rajya Sabha, which can be raised for critical matters with the approval of the Speaker.
Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput and the subsequent drug-related investigation in the case, questions have been raised about certain alleged activities in the film industry. “People in the entertainment industry are being whipped by social media. People who made a name for themselves in the industry have called it a gutter. I completely disagree. I hope the government tells those people not to use this kind of language, ”Jaya said Tuesday, according to ANI. Previously, actor Kangana Ranaut had called the film industry a ‘gutter’ and claimed that 99% of the people who work in it have been exposed to drugs.
The fact that there are a few people cannot tarnish the image of the entire industry. I am ashamed that yesterday one of our Lok Sabha members, who is from the film industry, spoke against it. It’s a shame – Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan at Rajya Sabha https://t.co/cSvxi5dioc

“Just because there are a few people, you can’t tarnish the image of the entire industry. I am ashamed that yesterday one of our Lok Sabha members, who is from the film industry, spoke against it. It’s a shame, ”he added, referring to comments made by BJP MP Ravi Kishan on Monday.
“A conspiracy is being hatched to destroy the youth of the country and our neighboring countries are joining it. Drug smuggling from Pakistan and China takes place every year. It is carried through Punjab and Nepal. Drug addiction is also in the movie industry. Several people have been arrested. The OCN has done a very good job. I urge the central government to take strict action against the culprits soon. Give them adequate punishment and put an end to this conspiracy by neighboring countries, ”he had said.

Sushant’s girlfriend, actress Rhea Chakraborty, has been arrested along with her brother Showik and four other people for allegedly acquiring drugs for the late actor. Rhea had previously said in an interview that Sushant used to smoke marijuana. She has also been accused by the late actor’s father of inciting his suicide and embezzling his funds. Rhea is currently housed in Byculla Jail. Her lawyer is expected to switch to the Bombay High Court after the session court rejected a request for bail.
