IAS officer backs MP min against Pathaan
MP Home Minister Narottam Mishra has an unexpected backer in his tirade against Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika Padukone starrer Pathaan film. IAS officer Niyaz Khan has come out in open support of Mishra’s opposition to the film. A pathan himself, Khan, tweeted, “We Indians have great culture where such western nakedness can’t be allowed. It’s not only against Hindu brothers, but also against Islam. The word Pathan is very sacred and emphasises on clothes Pathan is always very sensitive about dress. In the Pathaan movie song, there is no glimpse of niqab or burqa which is an inherent part of Pathan dress code. In place of it, there are colourful bikinis. Sad!”
