Imran Khan in nevarnosti mnenja v Bollywoodu

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut criticized the government's directive asking actor Imran Khan to leave India, calling it an indication that speaking out in the country might soon be considered a crime. Raut made the comments in an X post following reports that Khan, who holds an Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card, was ordered to depart the nation. Raut highlighted Khan's Indian heritage, stating that the actor's family is entirely Indian and that his voice and blood belong to the country. He drew a comparison with Mahatma Gandhi, noting that no one ever told Gandhi, who returned from South Africa during the freedom movement, that he was African and should leave India. Khan, 43, is expected to challenge the directive in the Bombay High Court either on October 16 or October 19 via his lawyer, Zulfiquar Memon. In his draft petition, Khan argues that there is no legal basis preventing an OCI cardholder from participating in peaceful protests. The directive followed Khan's brief detention during a protest in Mumbai on October 10. The protest took place at August Kranti Maidan in solidarity with a demonstration in Delhi demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over concerns regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
