More than 9-10 family members associated with Indian Army, won’t stand anyone speaking against: Imran Nazir Khan

MUMBAI: Mumbai-based Muslim actor Imran Nazir Khan who originally hails from Kashmir, Thursday filed a complaint against Bollywood actress Richa Chadha for her recent tweet on Galwan, mocking the Indian army.

Speaking to this website, Imran said, “In Kashmir where I hail from, at least 9-10 family members and relatives work with or in the Indian Army. Our family is associated with the Indian Army for the last 5 to 6 decades. We also have a business where we supply certain items to the security forces. For confidentiality reasons, I cannot mention more about my family’s association with the Indian forces, but I will definitely not tolerate anyone speaking against the Indian army.”

Imran also blasted Richa Chadha on social media, stating that she was doing everything for publicity. “It has become a trend or habit for her. First she says something crazy or offensive and then apologizes. My family members who work with the army have sacrificed their lives. We have lost 3 members of the family, who have worked with the Indian army and died fighting for the nation. I have seen it all up close. I know the reality about Kashmir. It is easy for someone like Richa Chadha to sit in her air-conditioned bedroom and pass comments like what she did/said. I will not tolerate it. I will make sure an FIR is registered against her. Or she must publicly apologize for her comments,” Imran Nazir Khan told this reporter.

Imran also tweeted to the Mumbai Police, Mumbai police commissioner and the DGP Maharashtra requesting them to consider his tweet as an official complaint.

Imran wrote on Twitter: @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice @DGPMaharashtra pls register FIR against @RichaChadha for instigating #Indians against #IndianArmy & spreading falsehood. This is an act of #sedition & #UAPA must be applied. pls consider this tweet as a written complaint.

Speaking to this reporter, Imran said: “I am totally against people like Richa Chadha who make statements for publicity. She is an educated woman and knows what she is talking about. She does it for publicity and then apologizes. Such people must be taken to task. Nobody has the right to mock our armed forces, who sacrifice their lives and their sleep to protect our motherland.”

Those who make such obnoxious statements against our armed forces, who protect us and our country and mocking them is definitely anti-national activity, he said, adding, “I hope the Mumbai police will register an FIR and punish her as per law.”

Meanwhile, Richa Chadha was brutally trolled by netizens for her tweet prompting her to apologize.

Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit also filed a separate complaint at the Juhu Police station.
