Controversial BJP MP Yogi Adityanath today compared Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan to Pakistani terrorist and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed, in the third attack by a saffron leader against the actor’s “extreme intolerance” comment, sparking condemnation.

Is it right to drag artists into politics?
