Sadhvi Prachi, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, prohibited the watching of Khan Movies of Bollywood on the pretext that ‘their films are spreading a culture of violence’, advising the younger generation to stop idolizing them.
Prachi has been known for starting controversies by her statements.
At a Vishwa Hindu Parishad programme on 1st March, Prachi said she had been to a programme in Meerut where she asked a boy what he wanted to become in life.
“He said he wanted to become like Hritik Roshan, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan. When I asked why, his mother told me because they are good at doing stunts,” she said.
Calling for a boycott of the Khan trio’s films, she said: “I, for one, would ask the Bajrangis to tear the posters of films of Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan off the walls and burn them in the fire of Holi.”
