Union minister of state for home affairs Kiren Rijiju said today that film director Anurag Kashyap questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on the boycott of Pakistani artists after Uri, is "without any logic" and a ploy to grab attention. Anurag Kashyap had recently tweeted to PM Modi on his silence over Pak artists ban. He asked PM to apologise for his visit to Pakistan in December last year. He also stood in support of Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which is facing trouble because of the presence of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan. Kashyap, 44, said that why should only filmmakers, who have completed shoot of their respective films, have to face the situation of a ban. Rijiju has brushed off Kashyap's rants as a publicity stunt. He tweeted, "A new fashion has developed in India. A student or a film person can put a question or speak against PM without any logic to get into news."
