Drugs in Bollywood

 All these earth shattering revelations about drugs in Bollywood are being selectively leaked everyday by some or other investigating agencies. Whether they can do so is a question which nobody is asking . Well that's not too much unexpected from people who support the way of encounter as a method of instant justice for the  accused in rape cases or curbing the mafia . In fact I am surprised why no demand for encounters for Bollywood stars involved in drugs are  being raised . In an oblique way , it will serve them right for glorifying the encounter cult in movies after movies. 

Keeping these things aside , let us examine the political angle. Naturally, the BJP is trying to portray the incidence of drug abuse in Bollywood and high society as something that reflect very badly on the incumbent Chief Minister and his party. They are justified in doing so from a stand alone point of view. But the fact is that this is not a stand alone matter at all. Most of these cases that are coming out are dated . And remember that the present Maha Vikas Aghadi goernment is in power for the last nine months only . Before that the BJP shared power with Shiv Sena for the previous 5 years from November 2014. 

Devendra Fadnavis held the post of the Home Affairs in addition to his CM post from 2014 to 2019 . He is presently busy in spreading his "Me Punha Aalaa Re " message in Bihar . His party is trying its best to use the  suicide of a young actor of Bollywood and the trail of drug connection to defame the Maharashtra government and win some brownie points in the forthcoming elections for the Bihar assembly . I know he will never read this post . But still I would like to place some questions for him . If he or his party have any moral compunction then they may answer it, The same goes for the hidden BJP supporters still lurking in the garb of friends in my life and on my timeline. They can stand up for their party if they are (hu)man enough. Their silence will prove the point decisively  ( and also help me to identify and throw them out of my life and timeline without further ado ) . 

1, How many raids were conducted on rave parties related to Bollywood during 2014-19 ?

2. How many people were arrested from such parties ? 

3 . What happened to these people ? 

4. How many Bollywood stars and starlets were arrested ?

5. How many people have been punished for illegal possession or sale of drugs  during 2014-19 ?

6. Is it to  be believed that the revelations coming out now have all happened after November 2019 ?
