The actor-turned-politician also congratulated the Editors’ Guild of India for its strong response to the lodging of an FIR in connection with the incident
NEW DELHI (PTI) — BJP lawmaker Shatrughan Sinha on Monday wondered if the people of the country were living in a “banana republic”, saying a journalist who did a story to highlight the misuse of Aadhaar details was being hauled up for reporting an “alleged truth”.
“What kind of ‘justice’ is this? Is there only politics of vendetta? Even public is being victimised for coming out honestly for society and the nation,” he said in a tweet.
Mr Sinha has been critical of the central government and the BJP leadership over a host of issues.
The actor-turned-politician also congratulated the Editors’ Guild of India for its strong response to the lodging of an FIR in connection with the incident and expressed hope that the “genuine authorities” in the government and the Supreme Court in particular would take notice and come up with swift corrective measures.
