Amitabh Bachchan Responds to Ramadoss, and the Fight Continues

It seems that neither of the factions involved, are interesting in keeping their swords in sheath. Health minister Ramadoss started a controversy in February that Shahrukh and Amitabh Bachchan should learn a lesson from Aamir khan on how to use creative liberty for good cause. He was referring to the smoking scenes in the movies and his ministry's decision to ban such scenes. Shahrukh later defended it saying that smoking on screen is a part of creative liberty. Ramadoss was not a step behind, in retorting.
Now it is Amitabh Bachchan's turn to defend the film industry. Amitabh has said that the health minister should first check his knowledge about arts and films and then try to intervene. The government should do what it preaches. There are no punishments for those who make these products, only filmwallahs are made scapegoats, because they are the soft targets. Amitabh Bachchan said

With national suicide rates soaring, would you strip Hamlet of his bare bodkin? Would you ban his immortal lines whether to be or not?
