Actor and BJP MP Kirron Kher today termed the act of authors returning Sahitya Akademi awards as "politically motivated". "I think the intellectuals who are giving up their awards are completely politically motivated, it's quite obvious. So many people died in 1984 in Delhi... around 3,000 Sikhs. But no one gave back the award that time," Kher said.


"They are now screaming about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP and RSS, so they are obviously politically motivated. It's so obvious you know. Rub the surface and the truth comes out," she said while claiming that the"truth" will come out soon.
