Shabana Azmi tags PM for this road in Varanasi

June 18, 2021 15:26

National Award winning actress Shabana Azmi shares this picture of a road in Varanasi, PM Narendra Modi's constituency, and writes, "Varanasi mein Bharat Ratna #Bismillah Khan Marg ! #CMUP @narendramodi ek nazar yahan bhi."

Expectedly, the 'patriots' following her on Twitter asked her to be civil while referring to the PM and not view things from behind the veil of religion.

Bismallah Khan is India's best known shehnai player, who passed away in 2006 and embodies the Ganga Jamuni tehzeeb, India's syncretic relationship with religion.

PM Modi and the BJP has maintained that the ghats and the roads of the world's most ancient habitable city are clean.
