Kajol He recently found himself in hot water when he said in an interview that the people of this country are ruled by uneducated and visionless politicians. As soon as her interview went viral on social media, ‘bhakts’ took offense at Kajol’s statement. “Bhakt” is a term coined by online users to describe supporters of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for their blind devotion or unquestioning loyalty.
The actress has now broken her silence in the face of outrage on social media and clarified her position. “I was just making a point about education and its importance. My intention was not to belittle any political leader, we have some great leaders who are leading the country on the right path,” he tweeted.
In her recent interview with The Quint, Kajol spoke about women empowerment in the country and said that change in India is very slow because people are steeped in our traditions and thought processes, including the lack of proper education.
“You have political leaders who have no background in the education system. Sorry, but I’m going to come out and say it. I am being ruled by leaders, many of them, who don’t have that point of view which I think education gives you at least a chance to seek a different point of view,” Kajol had said.
Amid the outrage, Kajol’s statement also drew a backlash Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi who dug into the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the controversy.
“So Kajol says we are ruled by leaders who are uneducated and have no vision. No one is outraged as her opinion is not necessarily a fact and she has not named anyone either, but all bhakts are outraged,” she tweeted. she
