Actress Prajakta Mali files complaint with Maharashtra State Women’s Commission over BJP MLA Suresh Dhas’ controversial remarks in the Beed Sarpanch murder case | Instagram
Mumbai: Actress Prajakta Mali has filed a complaint with the Maharashtra State Women’s Commission (MSWC) against BJP MLA Suresh Dhas for dragging her name in his attempt to target NCP minister Dhananjay Munde in the Sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh murder case.
Addressing a press conference, Mali said Dhas’ comments were in bad taste, entirely baseless, and asserted that women, especially actors, should not be made soft targets.
“Why name just women? Haven’t male actors attended such programmes organised by politicians? Dhas has used my name for his selfish interests,” she said.
The actor said she will meet Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to demand firm action against Dhas. Mali said she has sought a public apology from Dhas and is contemplating legal action against the MLA.
A few days ago, Mali performed at an event organised by Dhananjay Munde in Parli, Beed district. She claims that she was trolled after that performance.
Refusing to apologise to Mali, Dhas remarked, “I did not say anything objectionable. I have asked them to carefully review my statement.” He added that the MSWC president, NCP leader Rupali Chakankar, is handling the matter, and it remains to be seen what action they will take.
