president of IMPPA, TP Aggarwal, in a statement, said, “All se things are neir good for government r good for Kangana Ranaut. action taken by Maharashtra government or BMC is absolutely wrong and should be condemned."

He added, "Although court has stayed demolition, but BMC has already done what y had to do. At least y should have given time before demolition. You ask her what is wrong construction and if she had given answer, y would have broken it if it was wrong. It never happens that you demolish a property on such short tice of one day,"

"I feel she shouldn't have said some things and one of m is on nepotism. I believe that nepotism is everywhere. re is t much of nepotism in film industry.

"If nepotism had been prevalent in society n Kangana would t have been such a big star," he stated.

"She said that entire industry is involved in drugs. If so many people take drugs in this industry, n drug mafia in Mumbai should have ir share in film industry. As far as I believe re will be 5-7 percent of people who take drugs and y are in every field. By calling film industry a drug addict, you are stopping funds coming into industry," he added. 

Questioning BMC’s action, he hoped that matter is resolved soon.  "I think two parties should resolve matter soon. If Kangana's house is wrongly constructed demolish it. But, why only Kangana?

"re are unauthorised constructions throughout Mumbai. Break m as well. BMC should also abide by law while doing anything," he added.
