BJP MP and popular actress Kirron Kher’s speech in Parliament taking on critics of intolerance has gone viral.
Different excerpts of the nearly 25 minute-long speech is being shared by different accounts on social media, generating hundreds of thousands of views.
She questions the artists, who returned awards for acting on isolated instances, and for overlooking similar incidents under the long Congress rule. She cites the Emergency excesses on media and minorities, and the massacre of the Sikhs in 1984 as incidents that failed to get any response from the tolerance brigade.
She slams Aamir and Shahrukh Khan for leading privileged lives and for being out of touch with reality and accuses the opposition of blocking bills to stall development.
She also recounts how her husband Anupam Kher was removed as censor board chairman by the UPA government and replaced with Sharmila Tagore.

Intolerance is rising they say, in comparison to what and when...I want to ask all our wonderful intellectuals who returned their awards & who we respect deeply, where was their conscience all these years when so many things that should have shaken their conscience happened? How come they didn’t wake up then?: Kirron Kher in Lok Sabha.
