“Who has contributed the most to Bollywood? Muslim minorities contributed the most, and we cannot ignore it,” Pawar said.
This is not an isolated incident, when NCP leaders pitched about the minority community.
Earlier, Pawar had targeted the central government over the ‘The Kashmir Files’ movie.
“A movie (The Kashmir Files) showed atrocities on Hindus. It depicted that majority always attacks the minority and when that majority is Muslim, the Hindu community gets insecure,” Pawar had said, adding that it is unfortunate that people in power promoted this movie.
