Choose Right Subject at Right Time After Consulting Right People: Shatrughan Sinha to Maneka Gandhi

New Delhi: Actor-turned-politician and Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shatrughan Sinha on Sunday took potshots at Union Cabinet Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi, suggesting her to "choose the right subject at the right time and after consulting right people".

In a series of tweets, Shatrughan launched into a diatribe against the fellow BJP leader and said, "There are other ways of staying in the news or coming into the limelight than holding movies responsible for crimes."

Speaking at a 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' programme in Goa on Saturday, Gandhi had said, “Romance in almost every film stars with eve-teasing, be it Hindi or regional film.”

However, a day later, Shatrughan came out in defence of the film industry and urged Maneka not to scapegoat cinema for everything. Commending some of the recent movies with strong social messages, Shatrughan asked Maneka about her views on films “such as Pink, Dangal”, too.
