Anupam Kher faces privilege motion

Actor Anupam Kher is facing a privilege motion in the Maharashtra Assembly for allegedly making derogatory remarks against the Constitution even as the actor denied making any such comments.

NCP MLA Jitendra Avhad had raised the issue in the Assembly on Friday,pointing out that Kher had said the Constitution should be thrown away. The actor reportedly made the controversial remarks while supporting Anna Hazares agitation. On Saturday,Avhad told the Assembly that Kher is believed to have said he was firm in his opinion,irrespective of what the Assembly thought. This enraged MLAs across party lines,who demanded immediate action against the actors arrogance.

Meanwhile,his house was attacked Saturday night by alleged RPI activists protesting against his remarks. The actor was not at home when it was stoned. With PTI
