Indian parliament is considering Privilege motion against Ompuri,Character Actor and Kiran Bedi for their remarks on Politicians during Anna Hazare‘s Fast against Corruption.

Om Puri also launched a blistering attack on politicians from the stage at Ramlila Maidan. He told the thousands gathered that he feels “ashamed when an IAS or IPS officer salutes a ganwar (illiterate) who is a neta (political leader).
“Yeh anpadh hain, inka kya background hai? Aadhe se zyaada MP ganwaar hain,” Om Puri, known for his character roles, told the cheering crowd…
“They say one thing inside the house and one thing outside. You remove one mask, then you find another one, and then another,” she said, at the protest rally of Hazare last week.
Angry MPsSeparately, Mr Hazare’s aide Kiran Bedi and Bollywood actor Om Puri have been accused by MPs of lampooning politicians during the hunger strike.
Ms Bedi had criticised politicians at Delhi’s Ramlila ground, the site of Mr Hazare’s fast, saying they “could not be trusted because they wore several masks”. At the same venue last week, Om Puri described MPs as “illiterate, rustic and useless”.
“Look at the way they fight with each other. They throw chairs, mikes at each others,” the actor had said.
Mr Puri has now apologised for his remarks.
“I am unhappy with myself over two of the terms that I used. The first is ‘uneducated’ and the second is ‘useless’. I agree I could have used better language, but I was caught in the moment and so used those terms,” he told the IBN7 news channel.
