Recently, Jaya Bachchan accused the government in the parliament of trying to “kill” the film industry and urged it to have “mercy” on it. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, however, reminded Jaya Bachchan how her alliance partners demolished Kangana’s office. Taking to X, the official account of Nirmala Sitharaman’s Office spoke about how the Maha Vikas Aghadi government, of which Jaya’s party was an alliance member, ‘intimidated and demolished’ Kangana Ranaut’s office in Mumbai within 24 hours. The Finance Minister also asked Jaya to “speak to her alliance partners about that”. On Friday, Kangana thanked the minister for highlighting how her “constitutional rights were crushed by the arrogant political parties.”

What did the FM Office tweet about?

On Thursday evening, @nsitharamanoffc tweeted, “Jaya Ji has alleged that the Film Industry hasn’t been supported by the government. However, she will well remember Hon’ble MP (LS) Smt Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam). The MVA Govt, her alliance partner, in September 2020 in Mumbai, intimidated Ms Ranaut & in a notice of 24 hours, demolished her office until the Bombay High Court intervened. Jaya Bachchan Ji must speak to her alliance partners about that.” It also read, “Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Lata Mangeshkar Ji’s brother, got fired from All India Radio because his composition didn’t sit well with the Congress party. Also, Majrooh Sultanpuri was jailed. Dev Anand was threatened for not supporting the Emergency. Kishore Kumar was also pulled off air.”

Thanks a lot (folded hands emoji).”
