Prajakta Mali got angry on Suresh Dhas’s statement, tears flowed in the press conference
Maharashtra: For the last two days, the case of murder of Sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh in Masajog of Beed is in the headlines and the round of allegations and counter-allegations is going on in the political corridors. Meanwhile, MLA Suresh Dhas, who directly named actress Prajakta Mali in this case, has come into the limelight. Prajakta Mali has strongly condemned the statement given by him. Along with this, while presenting her side, she has also asked questions about the statement given in clear words. In a press conference held in Mumbai, Prajakta Mali took cognizance of the statement given by Suresh Dhas regarding the programs to be held in Beed and event politics. “I have come to strongly protest the comments made by Suresh Dhas while speaking to the media.
This has been going on for the last one and a half months. I have to face all the trolling, all the negative comments. But my silence does not mean that I am giving silent consent to all this. This is the compulsion of many women and artists like me. This silence has been imposed on us by all of you. A person shouts something in anger. Thousands of videos are made of those two sentences. As many words are captured. Thousands of videos are made from it on YouTube channel. Then some celebrity is forced to give a statement on it. Then another person speaks again. This mudslinging continues. The dignity of women is tarnished and everyone is entertained,” Prajakta Mali expressed her anger in these words.
Prajakta Mali said that the claims made by Suresh Dhas regarding the event held in Beed are completely false. “This story is completely false. A photo taken while accepting an honour at a cultural event is our only gift. This one-word conversation… should we make such a fuss over it? What should I reply to them? When I comment on that story, the story of 10 people reaches a thousand people. If that story is false, how long will it last? So I ignored it. I thought it best to remain silent. But today it is a matter of shame that I have to clarify because a public representative comments on it. This is a rumour. When a public representative throws mud at us about this, I felt that this matter should be taken seriously,” Prajakta Mali said, targeting Suresh Dhas. “I never speak about this. But yesterday, because he made that statement, I had to come in front of you all. When public representatives speak false things and tell them the truth, it is a serious matter. I have a basic question for Suresh Dhas. You are a politician. We are an artist. You are criticizing another politician. Whatever you are doing is for your own benefit. But why are you dragging artists into this? What is the connection between us artists and this? There is a law and order problem in Beed. Why are artists crushed when commenting on this?’ Prajakta Mali has asked Suresh Dhas in these words.
