Democracy gives you the right to ask questions, says Anurag Kashyap

A democracy gives you the right to ask a question, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap said on Thursday, accused of attracting the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on a message broadcast on social media threatening to violate his daughter because of his opposing views.

Kashyap said that there should be a law against this kind of trolling or that a politician should condemn such incidents "in the toughest terms" to send a strong message. The filmmaker filed a judicial report against the troll who published an abusive comment about him and his daughter.

"A democracy gives you the right to ask a question, if I'm intimidated for asking that question and then it was attacked multiple times, I do not find that kind of atmosphere right," Kashyap told reporters.
The director made headlines last week by drawing Modi's attention to a right-wing troll, who had abused and threatened to rape his daughter.

The director of films such as "Dev D" and "Gangs of Wbadeypur", renowned for his opinions, said he was worried about "the atmosphere of fear that has emerged".

"I am asked" Do not you scare when speaking against the government? "… I should not be afraid to ask a question," he said during the promotion of a new movie, "Game Over."

Kashyap said that & # 39; 39, he was not afraid of the threats that were addressed to him but that he was, as a father, rebaduring his child. "It does not bother me that the Prime Minister that I n? I have not supported wins. It is a public mandate and I accept it. I have always fought with governments, "he said, citing the example of the ban on his films during the Congress.

" I do not fight the party, I fight the government because you live in a country, you vote and you can have a contrary opinion and that can coexist … I just do not agree with the prime minister, but that does not mean that I will say something and that he will not be elected on the basis of what I say. If it comes somewhere, I will be respectful as others would do it. "

According to Kashyap, trolling did not stop despite the Prime Minister, saying that such things should not happen.

" I know that if a man says this firmly and strictly, it should not not to happen and that will be punishable, these things will automatically stop … "
