I have two questions:
1) Why would the BJP go after SRK? What is their animosity with him?
2) Why didn't they go after Amir who made the infamous 'intolerance' comment?
The NCB definitely messed up big time in the SSR and Rhea case. But that had a reason. SSR's suicide was a huge tragedy which shook up the whole country, and BJP wanted to benefit from it. Bihar elections etc.
But this seems rather out of the blue. Why would the BJP target SRK for no reason? Whatever has he done to piss them off that much?
I'd honestly love to know.
I made no direct comments on BJP's animosity or lack thereof toward SRK.
But for NCB to plan an operation for weeks, send 20+ officers at the cost of 8 lakhs EACH, to a cruise ship of 1800+, to find only a handful of drugs is weird.
On top of it, the guy they placed front and center apparently had no drugs on him, nor did he test positive according to reports. His mobile had no evidence, either. What they got on him was his admission he has used drugs. Which, to be frank, I'm not surprised by. The young and the rich tend to be stupid and entitled. If he did it, he should pay for his crime. But testing for drugs presumably includes hair testing, which can show evidence for 3 months after last drug use. So if NCB's tests came back negative, it means their prime nab hadn't taken anything in 3 months.
Moreover, the NCB guys made sure their pics appeared with the guy on social and traditional media. They made it seem as though the paltry stash of drugs they did find was on his person, despite fine print admitting he didn't have any.
Then the NCB proceeded to call a court into work on a weekend, got their demand for continued detention thrown out.
I have questions about how Aryan came to be on the cruise, too. He had no boarding pass and was apparently invited by an organizer. Which organizer? Any connection to the NCB? Admittedly, this part is speculation.
But yeah, this feels like a setup to net a high-profile name. Whether by publicity-hungry officers (which they clearly proved themselves to be) or something more is what I don't know.
In either case, the public should worry. They might gloat about a hated celeb being treated roughly, but this will not stop with celebs. It will eventually trickle down to the common man. A governmental agency (with or without the support of political masters) should not be allowed to entrap the public it serves. Aryan Khan should not be above the law, but he should not be below the law, either.
With re: BJP. They're in charge. When an agency under them misbehaves, they will be blamed. The buck stops with Modi. Or the Indian public should demand it should. Or else, the average person might find himself/herself in Aryan's situation one day soon. History should tell you it will happen. Russians cheered when the tsar and his family were killed. It wasn't long after that Stalin put a million of his own people to death.
