New Delhi:
Veteran actress and BJP leader Jaya Prada on Wednesday endorsed BJP Lok Sabha MP Ravi Kishan for his comments on drug use in Bollywood and said Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan was politicizing the issue. .
“I support Ravi Kishan’s statement as an issue of protecting youth from drugs is important to me. We need to raise our voice against drug use and we must save our youth. I respect Jaya HeeThe feeling about it, but this is not an issue that should be politicized. She had no right to make such statements, “Ms Prada told ANI.
She further said, “Why is Jaya Hee taking this issue so personally? He should be talking about saving the young so that another case like Sushant doesn’t happen. He has left us and the whole country wants justice for him. “
This comes after the Samajwadi Party deputy gave a zero-hour notice in the upper house on Tuesday for an alleged conspiracy to smear the film industry.
Without directly naming Ravi Kishan, Jaya Bachchan had stated that she was “ashamed that yesterday one of our Lok Sabha members, who is from the film industry, spoke out against it.”
Several Bollywood film industry personalities, including Shabana Azmi, Taapsee Pannu, Dia Mirza, Genelia Deshmukh, Sonam Kapoor, filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, and others have supported Jaya Bachchan’s statement.
