Pahlaj Nihalani Uses Aamir Khan’s DANGAL Ban In Pakistan As A Platform To Put His Point
| |||
Saturday, 8th April 2017, 12:30 PM IST As you would be aware, Aamir Khan and his ‘Dangal’ team did not let the movie release in Pakistan because of the absence of Indian National Anthem in the film. Nitesh Tiwari had even gone on to question, “Even the thought of cutting out the national anthem is completely unacceptable. However I am curious to know what is the reason given for such a demand.” Answering him, Pahlaj Nihalani said, “It’s very simple. Our national anthem which gives every Indian goosebumps, is our national anthem. It’s constitutionally unacceptable across the border for our anthem to be played in their country. There is nothing new or shocking in this.” He further said, “We do not allow shots of the Pakistani flag. And we’d not let the Pakistani national anthem play in any cinema shown in our country.” And finally, Nihalani tried to put down all the fingers pointed towards him over all these years, saying, “In Britain, the censor board doesn’t allow abusive words or bloodied violence. Here in India, we are bullied by the so-called liberal filmmakers into allowing profanities and violence. If we don’t, we are called conservative government’s stooges. In foreign countries, the censor board is truly an independent apex body. In India, we are helpless pawns in the hands of the pseudo-liberals.” Clearly, Pahlaj seems to be in the mood for a war, as he has targeted filmmakers and spoken.
