Dangerous Urban Dimagi Naxal: Kiren Rijiju Torches Naseeruddin Shah Over Proud Anti-National Rant

In a blistering political backlash, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has slammed veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah's viral social media video—where he proudly declared himself a "Dimagi Naxal"—stating that he discovered the actor's "real character" far too late and labeling his views as extremely harmful to Indian democracy. Shah's incendiary tirade, which attacked the government over student crackdowns in JNU, FTII, and Jamia while bashing media watchdogs and the BJP IT cell, has triggered an all-out national firestorm, compounded by sharp counter-attacks from Maharashtra Minister Nitesh Rane.
