Bal Thackeray asks Veena to go back to Pakistan

                         Bal Thackeray asks Veena to go back to Pakistan

Bal Thackeray, head of the Hindu extremist party, Shiv Sena, has called for actor Veena Malik, along with other Pakistani artists working in India to be sent back, the Hindustan Times reportedon Tuesday.

Thackeray, writing in an editorial published in his party’s media organ, Saamna, said that “Veena Malik is a blot on our country’s culture.”

He was critical of her professional work and her recent ‘disappearance’, “She goes missing for some days and it appears to be a publicity stunt. . . sometimes she does obscene acts in Bigg Boss and sometimes she gets herself photographed in the nude for magazines,” he wrote.

Thackeray questioned the attention accorded to Malik in the Indian media “Veena is not such a big actor from Pakistan that we should go on praising her,” he added.

This is not where his tirade ended, and he continued to talk against other Pakistani artists working in India, “there is a trend in Bollywood to hire Pakistani artists. Pakistani actors come to India and do not want to leave.”

He also took a swipe at Pakistanis who visited India earlier this year to watch the world cup match in Mohali. “People from Pakistan come to India to watch cricket matches and suddenly vanish. It’s difficult to say whether they work for terror outfits or not,” Thackeray wrote.

Malik had gone missing two days ago on December 16 after returning from a film shoot in Mumbai. Her manager Pratik Mehta confirmed the news and said that all her cell phones were turned off.

Earlier on Sunday, reports emerged in the Indian media saying that Malik has secretly arrived in Pakistan after going missing from her house in Mumbai. The report said that Malik arrived in Lahore through Wagah border wearing a ‘burqa’. Indian actor Ashmit Patel, who is also Malik’s friend, had come to drop her.

Indian journalist Sameena Razzaq Shaikh told Express News that the rumours of Malik’s visa expiring were untrue. “She is in India on a triple-visa and her visa is valid till December 24,” she added.

Shaikh also said that it was clearly a publicity stunt by the actress.

The authorities at Wagah border also denied the reports of Malik arriving in Pakistan. They said that the immigration process is usually not done on Sundays, unless it is a special case.

Malik’s family in Islamabad said that they have no information about Malik’s whereabouts.

The Indian press had claimed that Malik’s visa was due to expire on December 16 and she was advised to stay into hiding till its extension and has, therefore, gone missing. However, Malik’s Spokesperson Sohail Rashid had denied the claims and said that her visa was valid for a couple of months.

Malik received vast criticism from the Pakistani community after being recently involved in a nude photoshoot for an Indian magazineFHM.

Earlier in an interview to BBC, Malik conceded to doing a ‘topless’ shoot, but not ‘nude’. She filed a suit against FHM India, claiming damages worth Rs100 million. FHM India has counter sued Malik for Rs250million over the controversial magazine cover that hit the stands in early December.
