Nitesh Rane labels Bangladeshis, Saif Ali Khan as 'garbage' during Pune rally
Pune: Maharashtra Minister Nitesh Rane has drawn controversy once again with remarks made during a rally in Pune on Wednesday. Rane criticised Bangladeshis in Mumbai, actor Saif Ali Khan, and opposition leaders, calling for the removal of "garbage."
"Look at what Bangladeshis are doing in Mumbai. They entered Saif Ali Khan's house. Earlier, they stood at crossings, and now they have started entering homes. Maybe he came to take him (Saif) away. It is good; garbage should be taken away," Rane stated.
Rane also questioned the circumstances surrounding Saif Ali Khan's recent hospitalisation. "I saw him after being discharged from Lilavati Hospital, and I doubted whether he was stabbed or just acting. He appeared to be dancing while walking," he added.
Rane alleged that Muslim actors receive more political support when in distress compared to Hindu actors.
This is not the first time Rane's statements have stirred controversy. His comments follow remarks by Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam, who earlier questioned the authenticity of Saif Ali Khan's reported six-hour surgery. Nirupam had expressed scepticism over the actor's quick recovery and its impact on Mumbai's law and order narrative.
