Naseeruddin Shah Calls Out PM Narendra Modi on NEET Protests
Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah has once again voiced his concerns regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding the alleged NEET paper leak and the police action against students protesting at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. Following an emotional video he shared condemning the crackdown, Shah criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s handling of the situation during an interview with The Wire. His remarks have sparked discussions about accountability and governance in the current political climate.
Shah Questions Government Accountability
When asked about the Prime Minister’s response to what has been described as one of the most serious issues of his tenure, Shah expressed that he was “not surprised at all.” He questioned Modi’s honesty and accountability, stating, “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.”
Shah further elaborated on his concerns regarding the Prime Minister’s past statements. He remarked, “It’s amazing to hear and see the magic he seems to have performed. He talks about gutter gas to a group of scientists who applaud. He talks about Lord Ganesha’s head being the result of plastic surgery, Karna and the Kauravas 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?”
Criticism of Modi’s Public Messaging
Continuing his critique, Shah highlighted the inconsistency in Modi’s public messaging and actions. He stated, “He tells us to save petrol and drives around in a convoy of SUVs. He tells us not to travel abroad and then leaves on foreign tours. I find it difficult to take anything he says seriously.” Shah’s comments reflect a growing frustration among some citizens regarding the perceived disconnect between political leaders and the public.
When the interviewer suggested that the Prime Minister appeared to be “a fraud,” Shah responded, “Well, he’s very close to being one, but I find it difficult to take anything he says seriously.” This statement underscores Shah’s deep skepticism about the Prime Minister’s integrity and the government’s approach to pressing issues.
Emotional Response to Police Action
Shah’s latest remarks come shortly after he shared an emotional Instagram video expressing his anger over the police action against students protesting the alleged NEET paper leak. In that video, he conveyed his outrage, stating he was “boiling with anger” after witnessing footage of security personnel using force on demonstrators. He drew a comparison between the masked officers and American ICE agents, highlighting the severity of the situation. The actor’s passionate response has resonated with many, as he continues to advocate for accountability and justice in the face of governmental actions.
