00:00Drugs have made our film industry addicted to it.

00:05Listen to me, our government has caught many people addicted to it.

00:14NCB is doing very good work.

00:17I was really embarrassed and ashamed that yesterday,

00:20one of our members in the Lok Sabha spoke,

00:24who is from the industry, against, I'm not taking a name,

00:27against the film industry. It's a shame.

00:30Thank you, Ma.

00:58Today, I want to focus on a very big problem of our country.

01:04We all know that in our country,

01:07drug trafficking, drug addiction is increasing.

01:11Through the consumption of harmful drugs,

01:14a conspiracy is being made to destroy the youth of our country.

01:18I have to say with sadness that our neighboring countries are involved in this conspiracy.

01:24Sir, what I want to say is that the entertainment industry in our country,

01:28which provides direct employment every day to 5 lakh people

01:33and indirect employment to 5 million people,

01:38at a time when the financial situation is in a depressing state

01:42and employment is at the worst level,

01:47in order to divert the attention of the people,

01:52we are being used to be flogged by the social media

01:57and the government's non-support.

02:00Sir, people who have made their name in this film industry

02:04have called it a gutter.

02:07I completely disagree.

02:10Every year, on the roads of China and Pakistan,

02:13in a large number of countries,

02:15the use of narcotic drugs is being demanded.

02:19On the roads of Punjab and Nepal.

02:22Narcotic drugs are being used in our film industry as well.

02:27Listen to me,

02:30that addiction has been caught by our government to many people.

02:36NCB is doing very good work.

02:39But, sir, it is sad that such activities

02:43are being seen by the stars of our industry as role models.

02:49I hope the government tells these people

02:52who have made their earning, name and fame in this industry

02:56to stop using such language.

02:59There are people in the entertainment industry

03:03who are some of the highest taxpayers.

03:05They are still being harassed.

03:09All kinds of promises are being made to the entertainment industry

03:13but never ever kept.

03:15Sir, I get very worked up and very emotional.

03:17I have too many things to say

03:19but you are not giving me enough time and opportunity to speak.

03:22Just because there are few people,

03:25you cannot tarnish the image of the entire industry.

03:30This industry brings international name and recognition also

03:36apart from the political people.

03:40I was really embarrassed and ashamed

03:42that yesterday one of our members in the Lok Sabha

03:46spoke who is from the industry against,

03:49I am not taking a name, against the film industry.

03:52It is a shame.

03:54Thank you, ma'am.

03:56It is wrong.

03:58I request the central government through you,

04:01through our government,

04:03which is holding them all around,

04:06to take strict action,

04:08to catch the culprits soon,

04:10to give them a good punishment

04:12and to stop the conspiracy of neighboring countries

04:15to destroy the youth generation.

04:21Sir, I think the government must stand by the entertainment industry

04:26because the entertainment industry always comes forward

04:30to help the government in whatever good work that the government takes up.

04:34They come and speak for them.

04:36They support them.

04:38If there is a national calamity,

04:40they come forward, they give money,

04:42they give their services.

04:44I think that it is very, very important

04:47that the government must support this industry

04:50and not kill it.

04:52I need the protection, the industry needs the protection

04:54and support of the government.

04:56Jaya ji is our senior.

04:58I thought that Jaya ji would support me

05:00in my speech in the parliament.

05:03Because not everyone in the film industry does drugs.

05:06Let me clear this first.

05:08But what some people are doing

05:10or some people are sending cartels

05:12or peddlers,

05:14such a big conspiracy,

05:16largest film industry in the world,

05:19someone is planning to destroy it.

05:22When we came in the 90s,

05:24there was no such fashion.

05:26When Jaya ji came, there was no such thing.

05:28So if we don't raise our voice, who will come?

05:30Today I wanted Jaya ji to support me.

05:32Either she didn't hear my speech

05:34or she didn't listen to me.

05:36To save the industry,

05:38to save the youth, my children will also come.

05:40So in what environment will they come?

05:42Our film industry, which is Jaya ji's film industry.

05:44As much as they have,

05:46I also have the same right in this industry.

05:48I will not let it become hollow.

05:50I do not want the name of the film industry to be defamed.

05:53That's why on the first day of Parliament,

05:55I raised my voice

05:57and instead of getting support,

05:59I was humiliated like this.
