Raids by the Income Tax department  on film personalities like Anurag Kashyap and Tapsee Pannu were part of the Centre's political vendetta against people who dared to speak out, the Shiv Sena said on Friday.

In an editorial in its mouthpiece 'Saamana', the erstwhile ally of the BJP questioned if financial transactions of film personalities who openly support the government at the
Centre were clean and transparent.

Some people have spine and show that they are exactly like the characters they portray on screen, the editorial stated, possibly a reference to Pannu who has played feisty,
combative roles in films like 'Pink', Thappad' and 'Badla'.

It further said people may not agree with the views of Kashyap, an outspoken filmmaker, but that he had every right to air them.

The editorial on Friday also touched upon the recent controversy over legendary personalities tweeting in favour of the Centre after some foreign celebrities commented in support of the farm protests.
