‘Her political affiliation known’: Smriti Irani on Deepika Padukone’s visit to JNU

Date:

Days after actor Deepika Padukone visited the JNU campus in support of protesting students, Union minister Smriti Irani reacted to it, saying the actor had ‘made her political affiliation known in 2011 that she supports the Congress party’.

Speaking at an event in Chennai on Thursday, Irani said: “I think that anybody who has read the news knew where you are going to stand… knew that you are standing with people who celebrate every time a CRPF jawan is killed.”

“I would rather know what her political affiliation is than not know… I can’t deny her that right that she will stand next to people who will beat up other girls who don’t see eye-to-eye ideologically in private parts. That’s her freedom (sic),” she said.

“She made her political affiliation known in 2011 that she supports the Congress party,” she said. “It’s her right (to) stand next to people who say Bharat tere tukde honge,” the minister added.

The Union Minister was referring to an interview of 2011 of the actor being shared by her critics, in which she is supporting Rahul Gandhi for Prime Minister.

Deepika Padukone was in Delhi to promote her new movie “Chhapaak” on Tuesday when she visited JNU and stood with the protesters but didn’t speak anything.
