Ram Lal Sharma, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Chomu, on Tuesday expressed “serious concern” over depiction of Rajasthan Assembly building in Bollywood political thriller “Dirty Politics”. He was supported by his fellow legislators on the issue.
Raising the matter during zero hour, Mr. Sharma sought to know whether prior permission had been taken to shoot the Assembly from outside. Speaker Kailash said the matter would be looked into.
Ramlal Sharma said that “it puts all MLAs in an awkward situation”. “In the morning my son asked me if I was going to the same Assembly which is shown in the 'Dirty Politics' and I felt embarrassed,” Mr. Sharma said.
Responding to this, Parliamentary Affairs Minister R.S. Rathore assured the House that if the Assembly was wrongly depicted in the movie action would be taken after watching it.
Directed by K.C. Bokadia, “Dirty Politics”, is loosely based on Bhanwari Devi case in which a former Congress Minister and a former MLA from Rajasthan were jailed and are facing trial in Jodhpur. The Hindi movie was written and directed by K.C. Bokadia and stars Mallika Sherawat and Om Puri.
