I don't mind being called a 'chamcha' of PM: Kher

March 12, 2016 18:04

Actor Anupam Kher has said he does not mind being called a 'chamcha' (stooge) of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who works day and night for the country and wondered why children cannot chant slogans in admiration

of a prime minister.

"Why can't our children chant slogans in admiration of our prime minister in schools? As children, we used to chant slogans for Lal Bahadur Shastri in our schools. What is the problem?

"Here is a man (Modi) who is constantly working day and night, who has enhanced our country's image throughout the world. But they (critics) are trying to find loopholes in each aspect of his work and run him down," he told Rajat Sharma in 'Aap Ki Adalat' on India TV.

Modi is constantly talking about the country and no Prime Minister prior to him ever spoke on women's toilets from the ramparts of Red Fort, he said.
