'Shah Rukh Khan Was Victimised': Mamata Banerjee in Mumbai, Hits Out Against BJP

Banerjee, who is on a three-day visit to Mumbai, met leaders of Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party.

Addressing a large audience of political leaders, social activists, and celebrities, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday, 1 December, said that the "cruel and undemocratic BJP" had victimised Shah Rukh Khan.

Responding to film director Mahesh Bhatt, who called Banerjee "a ray of hope", the chief minister was quoted as saying by NDTV:

"Mahesh ji, you have been victimised, Shah Rukh Khan has also been victimised. If we have to win, we have to fight and speak out wherever you can. You guide us and give us advice as a political party."
