The Censor Board Has The Option Of Removing The Contentious ‘Pathaan’ Song: Uma Bharti

Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Uma Bharti on Wednesday said the censor board still has the option of removing the controversial ‘Besharam Rang’ song from the upcoming Hindi movie “Pathaan” and maintained superstar Shah Rukh Khan is himself “responsible for so much hatred against him”. The song, which stars Bollywood actors Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan, has riled right-wing outfits due to the former’s saffron attire. Asked by reporters about the song and some right-wing outfits asking SRK to go to Pakistan, Bharti said “Shah Rukh himself is responsible for so much hatred against him. Because Shah Rukh, Saif (Saif Ali Khan), and Aamir (Amir Khan) have all stated that they are afraid of India. However, following the Nupur Sharma incident (suspended BJP spokesperson Sharma’s comments on Prophet Mohammed sparked outrage a few months ago), when people’s throats were slit, they did not speak a single word.

They blew the opportunity.” Because of this, people believe they (the Khans) do not oppose fundamentalists’ activities, according to the former Madhya Pradesh chief minister.

“That’s why they’ve lost the people’s trust,” she explained. The former Union minister stated that removing the contentious song from the film “Pathaan,” which will be released in theatres at the end of January, was in the hands of the censor board. According to Bharti, only 2.5 percent of Muslims in India went to Pakistan during the 1947 partition. According to the BJP leader, Muslims who remain in India feel safer with Hindu neighbours here. “That is why those who want to go there must consider whether they will be safe there” (in Pakistan). Will they be able to speak and live freely in Pakistan as they do here? “Where else in India would there be more security than this?” she asked.
