MUMBAI: State Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant on Monday questioned the need for Amitabh Bachchan to shield himself with a bulletproof glass screen during his Sunday darshan.Bachchan on Sunday, unexpectedly, greeted fans from behind a protective bulletproof glass screen at his Juhu residence.The shield appeared two weeks after actor Tiger Shroff was shot at in Juhu, an attack for which the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility. Sawant asked if it was a “gangster-related” threat that required this change in security arrangements and blamed the Centre for a worsening law and order situation.“It is ironic that the actor, once known as the ‘Angry Young Man’, is now apparently living under the shadow of gangster-related fear. Does this picture reflect the situation in the country?” he asked. He said Bachchan, who had earlier tweeted about petrol prices and the depreciation of the rupee, should now post messages such as “Modi hai toh mumkin hai” and “the country is in safe hands.”Taking a dig at the BJP, Sawant invoked the famous dialogue from Bachchan’s iconic film Sholay: “There is only one man who can save you from Gabbar’s terror, Gabbar himself.” “There is only one party that can save you from the BJP’s terror, the BJP itself,” he added. tnn & agencies
