Shabana Azmi feels those criticising the government are branded anti-national these days

Actress and social activist Shabana Azmi is known for being vocal about several issues and topics. The actress who was recently honoured with the Kunti Mathur Award to recognise her work for women, was present at the award ceremony. While addressing the audience, she talked about the current political scenario. The actress put forth her view that anyone who criticizes the government is branded as antinational.

Talking about the same Azmi said, “It is always necessary that we point out our flaws for the betterment of our country. If we do not, how can our conditions improve? But the atmosphere is such that if we criticise the government we are branded as anti-nationals. We should not be afraid, nobody needs their certificate.”

She didn’t name any political leader or party in particular and added, “We have grown up in ‘Ganga-Jamuni’ culture. We should fight the situation and not kneel before it. India is a beautiful country. Any attempt to divide people cannot be good for this country.” For more updates and gossip, stay tuned to CineBlitz.
