Shatrughan Sinha backs 'Mersal', says 'critics not anti-national'

Actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha on Saturday while referring to the ongoing controversy involving Tamil movie 'Mersal' said that criticising government's and its decisions does not make anyone anti-national.

"Some support GST, some don't. Some support demonetisation some don't, this doesn't mean critics are anti-national," said Sinha.

'Mersal' starring Tamil superstar Vijay landed in controversy after Tamil Nadu BJP chief Tamilisai Soundararajan said 'misconceptions' were being promoted in the film about central government schemes, including Goods and Services Tax (GST), demonetisation and Digital India.
