New Delhi: In a scathing response to actor-turned-politician Ravi Kishan’s drug conspiracy statement in Lok Sabha on Monday, Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan said in Rajya Sabha today that some people are trying to smear the film industry and that the government should provide protection against it. . The 72-year-old veteran actress and politician refrained from taking names.
“The government should support the entertainment industry because they always show up to help the government. They come and speak for them, they support them if there is a national calamity, they show up, they give money, they provide their services. And I think it’s very important. That the government should support this industry and not kill it just because there are few people, the image of the whole industry cannot be tarnished. This industry brings international name and recognition apart from the political people too. I was really ashamed and ashamed yesterday one of our members at Loj Sabha, who is from the industry spoke out against (I’m not taking the name) from the film industry. It’s a shame ‘jis thali mein khate hai usi me chhed karte hai’, galat baat hai. I need protection, this industry needs protection and support from the government, ”said Jaya Bachchan during the second day of the Monsoon session in Parliament.
Social media is hitting people in the entertainment industry. People who made a name for themselves in the industry have called it a gutter. I completely disagree. I hope the government will tell those people not to use this kind of language: MP Jaya Bachchan in Rajya Sabha

Jaya Bachchan also gave a Zero Hour ad on Rajya Sabha about the alleged attempt to smear the film industry.
Ravi Kishan had said Monday that the drug conspiracy is a big problem and has affected Bollywood, urging the government to crack down on the culprits. He even said that the drugs are coming to India through China and Pakistan, as part of a larger conspiracy to attack the youth of our country.
The drug conspiracy has once again become the topic of conversation in Bollywood after Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik, and several other names came up in the death case of Sushant Singh Rajput.
