Ahmedabad: After actor Aamir Khan, Bollywood actress Diya Mirza has earned the wrath of BJP activists for making statements against the Sardar Sarovar Project.
BJP workers, led by Mayor Dhansukh Bhandari, on Monday organised a protest march against both Mirza and Aamir for their "anti-dam statements" and support for the project-affected people in Rajkot.
Mirza was in Rajkot on Sunday for a function where she said that she supported Aamir's stand on the dam.
When asked about the drinking water problems of lakhs of people of Gujarat, she said, "people should also think about thousands who are getting displaced. Should Gujarat drink water at the cost of thousands of displaced people?"
"We do not have any problem against the actress but the way the film stars are making statements without understanding the importance of the Sadar Sarovar dam is pathetic. I think she does not know the importance of dam for the people of parched regions of Gujarat," Bhandari said.
Mirza had left for Mumbai last night after the function.
