Summary
Naseeruddin Shah criticizes Prime Minister Narendra Modi's handling of issues, calling him dishonest and questioning his divine image.
“What is happening to us? Is there no one who is ever going to question this man?”From the report
How do you view the way the Prime Minister has handled this issue? It must be one of the most serious issues that has arisen during the 12 years of his Prime Ministership. I'm not surprised at all. When has he spoken honestly about anything? Has he accepted responsibility for any of his blunders? Has he ever accepted the fact that he was perhaps wrong? No, he's divine and this supposed divinity of his has affected all his followers. It's amazing to hear, to see the magic he seems to have performed. He talks about gutter gas to a group of scientists who applaud. He talks about the God Ganesha's head being the result of plastic surgery, Karna and the the core of us being IVF born, and he's applauded by doctors. What is happening to us? Is there no one who is ever going to question this man? Lie upon lie upon lie upon lie. He never speaks to the press because he scared He be asked about 2002 He be asked about his supposed 35 years of begging his his his meditating in the Himalayas his visiting Paris and New York and 20 other states of America before he was anybody. And yet he comes from a very poor family. Hindi movies have done it. you know, his fake tears actually move people. That dreadful acting that he does when he cries, and only for himself. He's never cried for the Jawahans, who were blown up in Pulwama, or the tourists who died in Pahalgan, which he refers to as Pulgama, by the way. I'm not at all surprised that he has not addressed this issue. Which issue has he addressed? He tells us to save petrol, drives around in a convoy of 10 SUVs. He tells us not to travel abroad and the next night leaves for a tour of six countries where he collects some bogus metal. Don't buy gold, save money. It's not for him. He's divine.
