Hema Malini’s anti-north Indian comments
(No Ratings Yet)Actor-turned-politician Hema Malini’s alleged remarks about north Indians in the city have evoked strong reactions from various quarters, including the Congress.
BJP’s Rajya Sabha member Hema, while electioneering for the February 1 local corporation elections, was asked at a meeting last evening about north Indians not being happy with the treatment given to them here, to which she allegedly replied “If they have a problem, they should go back.” Reacting strongly to the remarks, MPCC spokesperson Husain Dalwai said “she should remember that she is an MP first and then an actor” before making such “irresponsible statement”.
“She should also remember that her husband (actor-MP Dharmendra) is a north Indian and her children are also half-north Indian,” he told PTI.
Mumbai has a large population of north Indians, especially those hailing from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, and also a significant migrant population from different southern states.
