Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah has proudly embraced the label "Dimagi Naxal," a term reportedly coined by Prime Minister Modi. Shah shared a video on Facebook where he displayed the badge, asserting his identity against government criticism. He drew parallels to previous protests, referencing terms like 'anti-national' and 'tukde-tukde gang.' Shah accused the current government of being illegitimate and responsible for dividing the country. His remarks follow his support for students protesting at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute.
