Patna, (Bihar Times): The Bihar and Jharkhand Motion Pictures Association has flayed Bihari Babu Shatrughan Sinha’s statement opposing the ban on the films in which Mithun Chakravorty and Ravi Kishan are acting.

The executive committee member of the BJMPA and the Janata Dal (United) MLA, Dr Sunil Kumar, on Sunday asked as to where was Shatrughan Sinha when the shooting of Bhojpuri and Nagpuri films in Bihar was banned by Mithun. Terming the statement unfortunate Dr Kumar said that Shatrughan Sinha must first know the actual position before going to the Press.

He also took a dig at the Shiv Sena-turn Congress leader, Sanjay Nirupam, for not raising the issue though the latter always claim that he was the leader of the North India.

It needs to be mentioned that on Saturday Shatrughan Sinha opposed BJMPA’s stand on Mithun and Ravi Kishan. On Sunday he, while talking to a section of Press once again said that “Dr Sunil is my brother. But he should clearly state how and why people of Bihar and Jharkhand were insulted.” He urged both the parties to come to a peaceful solution to the problem
