Prime Minister Narendra Modi has found one more admirer in Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chief Pahlaj Nihalani.
Speaking at a book launch function, Nihalani said it is for the first time in our country that a prime minister is doing a great job for the nation and that too with a great speed.
"It is for the first time that a Prime Minister is doing a great job for the nation and that too with such a great speed. He is taking actions. I think everyone should be proud of him," he said.
"Our Prime Minister is doing a good job and that must be appreciated and admired. If to admire Prime Minister Modi is a crime then I confess that I am guilty. I admire him a lot," Nihalani added.
These comments came after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had last month termed the CBFC chief as one of the 'chamcha' of Prime Minister Modi.
"PM Modi has a battalion of sycophants like Gajendra Chauhan, Chetan Chauhan, Pahlaj Nihalani, Arnab Goswami, Smriti Irani," he had tweeted.
