Ashoke Pandit: India can be strong only under PM Modi's rule, he's fortunately ruling us

The Indian Parliament passing the Citizenship Amendment Act has divided the country into who’s for it and who’s against it. And that has been the same with the film industry. While one section of Bollywood has been vociferous in its protest against the CAA, there have been some who have strongly supported it as well. In the latter category, has been Ashoke Pandit. The filmmaker has not minced words in lashing out at the opposers of the controversial act from the industry. Amid criticism from one section for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for introducing the CAA, Pandit has come out in the support of PM. He said that India can be strong only under PM Modi’s rule. The director added that India was fortunate to be led by PM Modi.
