Disloyal 'Raees' of no use, we should support a 'Kaabil' patriot: BJP's Kailash Vijayvargiya

Senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya, who is known for making controversial remarks, recently put up a poster where he was punning with the words Raees and Kaabil – both movies starring Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan that release this week.  Vijayvargiya, 60, tweeted, "Those Raees (rich) who are not loyal to the country are of no use. We should all support a Kaabil (able) patriot." 

जो #Raees देश का नहीं, वो किसी काम का नहीं।

और एक #Kaabil देशभक्त का साथ, तो हम सभी को देना ही चाहिए। pic.twitter.com/S5ufpuQTPJ

BJP’s  Shaina NC triled hard to defend Vijayvargiya, claiming hte views expressed were his own views and there is "no controversy attached to party."

She said the tweet attacked dishonest people and promoted the "able" and pointed out that it makes no mention of Shah Rukh Khan or Hritihik Roshan. "It was a tongue in cheek comment on black money...it was   metaphoric, philosophical...the larger picture is that he is giving his view on the notes ban actually," said the BJP spokesperson. However, the Tweet was taken down later.

Vijayvargiya had earlier attacked Shah Rukh Khan, like when he had tweeted, "Shah Rukh Khan lives in India, but his heart is in Pakistan. His films make crores here but he finds India intolerant."
