Former actor and BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha has reportedly extended his support to Vijay’s Mersal and has shared his views on the controversial dialogues that involve views on GST and the Digital India Programme. This had become the talk of the town a few days ago and a lot of people had expressed their opinions regarding these dialogues.

According to reports, while talking to a section of the media, Sinha had said, “Why are we so defensive about a perfectly legitimate issue that has been raised in the Tamil film regarding healthcare and the GST? Why is it such a crime if  Vijay, who is a very powerful Tamil actor, reminds us that the poor in our country desperately need healthcare? Instead of attacking Vijay and questioning his credentials we should all take his words seriously and work towards improving healthcare in our country."
