Controversy | On 6 December 2022, the Kolkata Police issued summons to Paresh Rawal for his remarks on Bengalis during a poll campaign in Gujarat. He said, "Gas cylinders are expensive, but their price will come down. People will get employment too. But what will happen if Rohingya migrants and Bangladeshis start living around you, like in Delhi? What will you do with gas cylinders? Cook fish for the Bengalis?" After a complaint was lodged by Mohammed Salim, a CPI(M) leader and the Party's State secretary, the actor was booked under various sections of the IPC. In his complaint Mohammed Salim alleged that the actor's speech could promote feelings of hatred against the Bengalis. |
