Veteran Bollywood actor Mithun Charkarborty has instigated quite a furor online over his recent inflammatory speech against Muslim minorities in West Bengal in front of Home Minister Amit Shah, who has been accused by the Canadian Government of his alleged role in the gory execution of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The 74-year-old actor who was affiliated with communism and was a naxalite during his student days, Mithun, affiliated with TMC (2014-16), and later joined BJP in 2021. During a recent membership drive event in the presence of BJP bigwigs, including Amit Shah, the former Rajya Sabha MP threatened violence against Muslims in the state. He was allegedly responding to statements made by TMC leader Humayun Kabir. Mithun Chakraborty said:
Kuch bhi karenge. Kuch bhi. Mai Home Minister ke samne bol raha hu “kuch bhi” ke andar bahot saare matlab chipa hua hai.
…Tum kaat ke Bhagirathi mein fenk doge, lekin ek din aega jab hum tumko kaat ke Bhagirathi mein nahi…Bhagirathi humari maa hai. . .Tumko tumhari zamin ke andar fenkenge.
…Aap humare jhaad ka ek fal todoge toh hum aapke jhaad ka chaar fal tod denge
(We will do anything. Anything. I am speaking in front of the Home Minister, and “Anything” encompasses a lot more than you can imagine. You speak about cutting us and throwing in the Bhagirathi river, but a day will come when we shall chop you and not throw in the Bhagirathi, for it is our mother; rather, we shall bury you in your land. If you pluck one fruit from our tree, we shall avenge fourfold.)
“We’ll cut you (muslims) down and throw your corpses at your lands, not in the river” – Mithun Chakraborty
India is only country in the world where you can become a successful politician by threatening to kill minorities. Ironically, it claims to be world’s largest democracy. pic.twitter.com/25aRzhvIeK— Jaspinder Kaur Udhoke (@Kaur_Udhoke) October 31, 2024
Reactions poured in with several netizens slamming the actor-turned-politician dancing to the tune of the hate brigade hell bent on destroying the very fabric of secularism in the country. While the RW accounts justified and rallied behind Mithun Chakraborty, the rest condemned the ‘Disco Dancer’ and urged the Supreme Court to take Suo Muto cognizance and arrest him.

Even after the hate speech against minorities by Mithun Chakraborty in the presence of the Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Kolkata, why the West Bengal Administration or any @AITCofficial office bearer or worker has not lodged a single complaint? Is this another eyewash to…— Upamanyu Bhattacharya (@MetzlerParadox) November 2, 2024
