Smriti Irani targets Deepika Padukone over JNU visit

Union Minister Smriti Irani has come down hard on Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone for mingling with the pro-Left student's lobby at JNU.

Deepika Padukone had visited the JNU campus late on Tuesday and stood in solidarity with JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh and others who had been assaulted by masked men who were allegedly ABVP activists.

On Friday, Smriti Irani questioned Deepika's motives in standing in solidarity with the pro-Left JNUSU leaders and ignoring the ABVP activists who had also complained of being assaulted earlier.
