Political opponents are arrested without evidence and put on trial for months while Mr Gautam Adani walks free despite repeated and grave allegations, she said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is happy with the team of filmmaker David Dhawan’s “Coolie No. 1” for opting for a plastic-free environment on the sets, after actor Varun Dhawan said only steel bottles were to be used on the sets.
“Being a plastic-free nation is the need of the hour and great initiative taken by our prime minister and we can all do this by making small changes. The sets of #CoolieNo1 will now only use steel bottles. @PMOIndia,” Varun had tweeted on September 1.
