Confusion of BJP on Aamir Khan

The clash between ‘Raksha Bandhan’ and ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ was awaited, but looking at their box office collections of the first two days, their respect seems to be trapped like Razia among goons. If the collections do not improve, which is very less expected, then the value of the screen of both Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan will get scratched. In this too, Aamir Khan will suffer more as he is also the producer of ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ along with his ex-wife Kiran Rao. Due to Akshay and Aamir, appeals for boycott of both these films were being made. Both the sides of the country divided on the basis of ideology had taken the responsibility of making them flop. Some saints of Haridwar also joined this campaign. He said that Aamir Khan has made fun of our deities in the film ‘PK’, they should be punished so that they think ten times before doing this in future.

Akshay Kumar’s reply to the appeals to boycott his film was that whoever wants to see the film should see it and if not, then do not watch it. On the other hand, Aamir Khan, who has spent 160 crores on ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’, has apologized two or three times and said that he also loves the country very much. Despite this there were protests against his film outside some cinema halls in Delhi, Varanasi and Punjab. In Jalandhar, Punjab, apart from Hindu organizations, one or two Sikh organizations were also seen opposing Aamir, although other Sikh organizations came there in protest against these organizations.

What is most interesting is the attitude of the BJP in this matter. Expressing happiness over the low collection of ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ on the first day, BJP MP from Godda in Jharkhand, Nishikant Dubey said that the patriots have shown that no more lies will work in the country. They did not stop at that. He tweeted that Aamir Khan’s ‘Secret Superstar’ earns 60 crores in India but 900 crores in China while at the same time ‘Baahubali’ earned 1600 crores in India and only 80 crores in China. So NIA, ED should investigate money laundering of Aamir Khan. In this he also tagged the Income Tax Department.

On the other hand, BJP leader and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has invited Aamir Khan and the entire team of ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ to the Amrit Year Celebrations of Independence in the state. Aamir Khan will not only attend the Independence Day celebrations there, but will also be present at the special screening of Himanta Biswa Sarma ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ with him and his team on the next day i.e. 16th August. That’s why I said that the BJP’s attitude towards Aamir Khan is the most interesting.
