Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray would write a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the portrayal of Bollywood in a bad light in the wake of recent raids by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) which could affect the livelihood of the people dependent on that industry, NCP leader and minister Nawab Malik said today.
Speaking to reporters, Mr Malik said he had apprised the chief minister and state Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil about the current happenings.
"CM Thackeray informed me that he is concerned about the image of the Hindi film industry being portrayed in such a negative way. He is going to write a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding this. The drug haul cases have maligned the image of the film industry," said Mr Malik.
The NCP spokesperson has levelled a string of allegations against NCB's Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede and the raids conducted by the federal anti-drug agency, including the one on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast in which Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan was arrested.
