Akshay Kumar, SRK & THESE big stars are slammed by BJP leader for promoting tobacco brands!

Shekhar Salkar, the medical cell convenor of the Goa BJP, urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday. He urges to withdraw the Padma awards of Bollywood celebrities Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, and Akshay Kumar, as well as Shah Rukh Khan, for appearing in surrogate advertisements promoting tobacco products.

“I have no words to condemn the way Akshay Kumar has joined the gang of Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Ajay Devgn to promote cancer through a surrogate advt of tobacco product. Ironically, all these people are Padma award winners,” Salkar Tweeted.

“While @PMOIndia is working overtime to make India healthy through the Fit India movement, the entire mission is humiliated by these so-called influencers with their surrogate advt trapping the younger generation into tobacco consumption. Do these actors deserve Padmashri,” asked Salkar, who is also an office-bearer of the National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication.

Check out the post:

 

“People have put their faith in these disgraced, dishonorable actors who have sold their soul and ethics to make money at the cost of minds of innocent youth who emulate them and get adversely influenced and initiated to tobacco consumption,” he added.

Amitabh Bachchan is the Padma Vibhushan awardee, while Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Akshay Kumar are recipients of the Padmashri award.

Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar has issued a public apology and quit Vimal Elaichi’s position as a brand ambassador.
