Why is it a crime if Vijay reminds us of required healthcare, asks BJP's Shatrughan Sinha supporting Mersal


In a startling new development, former actor and current BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha has come in support of actor Vijay and the film Mersal in an interview to a leading newspaper. The once iconic Bollywood actor seems to have given some rather astonishing statements, given that is counterparts down South are still in disagreement over the film and its lead actor. Sinha has been quoted as saying, 


"Why is it such a crime if Vijay who is a very powerful Tamil actor, reminds us that the poor in our country desperately need healthcare?...Has anyone heard the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) or any of the top leaders commenting on the issue? It is only some elements in our party who are eager to prove that they are more loyal than the others..They are the ones jumping in to attack this perfectly harmless and very significant point raised in the film. Instead of attacking Vijay and questioning his credentials we should all take his words seriously and work towards improving healthcare in our country,"


Adding his stand over the ethnicity quo being pulled over Vijay (by referring to him as 'Joseph Vijay') and the film's producer Hema Rukmani, the shotgun actor added 


"Valid criticism must be equally welcome from Amar, Akbar and Anthony," 


Shatrughan Sinha concluded his stance by stating the most unsaid truth loud of this whole controversy. He said :


"Thanks to all the noise that was made over a few dialogues in the film by my overzealous party members, the film has attracted much more attention that it would have otherwise. The makers of 'Mersal' must be thankful to the BJP,"
