New Delhi: The Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal criticized the BJP on Sunday over the way of handling of the talks between the MNS and filmmakers in ensuring release of 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' featuring Pakistani actor.

"BJP will ruin the country," Kejriwal said in a tweet.

A huge national uproar has been created after the Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis medicated the talks of which the result was that MNS chief Raj Thackeray forced filmmakers who worked with Pakistani actors have to comply with including a contribution of Rs 5 crore to the Army welfare fund.

MNS had threatened to disrupt the screening of the film as it features Pakistani actor Fawad Khan.

Fadnavis has also been facing criticism from the Opposition parties for "bowing" to the highhanded tactics of the MNS and "failing" to ensure rule of law in Maharashtra.

Under pressure from political and other outfits, Bollywood film producers had yesterday announced that they will not engage with Pakistani artistes, clearing decks for the smooth release of Karan Johar's "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil".

Johar has agreed to put a special mention in the beginning of the film paying homage to martyrs, a move to assuage sentiments in the country triggered by the terror attack on an army base in Uri that claimed the lives of 19 security personnel.
