CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: An FIR has been lodged against veteran Bollywood actor and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Mithun Chakraborty for allegedly delivering a provocative speech that reportedly incited violence and unrest. The complaint, filed by a local political activist, claims that Chakraborty used inflammatory language during a recent rally, which could lead to potential disruption of peace. According to the FIR, his statements were interpreted as provocative and intended to create division among communities.
The incident reportedly took place at a public rally where Chakraborty, known for his charisma and mass appeal, addressed a large audience. The complainant has accused him of using phrases that could be construed as inciting unrest, urging authorities to take strict action. This has sparked a political controversy, with opposition leaders demanding accountability and legal action, while his supporters argue that the statements have been taken out of context. They contend that Chakraborty’s words were meant to energize the crowd and motivate them toward political change, without any intent to provoke violence.
Chakraborty’s legal team responded, saying they are reviewing the complaint and will contest the FIR, claiming his speech was within the bounds of free speech and posed no threat to public safety. They also pointed out that this FIR is politically motivated, aiming to curb his influence and popularity among voters.
This case has further intensified the ongoing political tensions, with debates around freedom of speech, political influence, and responsibility of public figures taking center stage. As authorities proceed with their investigation, public discourse over the role and accountability of political speeches continues to grow.
