VASCO: Offended and disappointed with veteran Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor’s comments against the Gandhi family, Congress workers from Vasco staged a protest and even burnt his effigy at Mangoor Hill, Vasco, on Saturday evening.
It may be recalled that Kapoor took to twitter to express anger over the naming of several organisations and properties in India after the members of the Gandhi-Nehru family.
Speaking to reporters during their protest, Congress leader Saifullah Khan said, “The irresponsible statement of Rishi Kapoor on the Gandhi family shows that such people are traitors of the country.”
The Gandhi family has sacrificed their life for the nation and has made the country proud, but instead of giving them high respect, the actor made loose statements without giving any thought to the repercussions. He is an actor and should concentrate only on acting and not indulge in dirty politics for media publicity.”
