March 01, 2017 21:22

Criticising the opposition parties for politicising the issue, Bollywood veteran Anupam Kher on Wednesday said political parties are raising the controversy surrounding the student of Lady Shri Ram College Gurmehar Kaur to gain political mileage out of it.

Talking to media, the 61-year-old said, "Whatever the daughter of Army officer said means that nobody wants war. Every soldier is here to protect our country at the border."

"Her topic is being raised by giving a political angle to it. Same faces, who have been raising and politicising the issues in the past, are taking political mileage from it. Everybody is aware about these people and parties," Kher added.

The actor further elaborated by saying that opposition parties are unable to digest the good job of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and they are finding new topics to fight and protest.
