NEW DELHI: Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu today came to the defence of 16-year old Kashmiri girl Zaira who featured in Dangal movie and was trolled for meeting J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and wondered why “ultra liberals” are silent on the issue.
“Why did she have to tender an apology for meeting the CM of her own State? Why is everyone silent now? Where are the so called ultra liberals now?” Naidu, who holds the portfolio of Information and Broadcasting, questioned.
Naidu, who is also Urban Development Minister, was addressing a function of Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) here.
Asserting that the incident clearly shows the irony of the pseudo liberals who vehemently came out to speak against the growing “intolerance” earlier, Naidu urged the people to stand up by her side. (AGENCIES)
