Film actor Sanjay Dutt is in the news for his comments on the current situation in the country in Shekhar Suman's show 'Shekhar Tonight'. In this special episode broadcast on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, Sanjay Dutt said that he no longer feels peace in India like before.
He said that the people of India are very nice, big-hearted and hospitable and there should be peace in the country.
Sanjay Dutt said, "I don't feel that peace in our country anymore." He prayed that 'those days would return again.'
After this, in the show, Sanjay Dutt was asked to address the people by considering himself as the Prime Minister of the country for five minutes.
On this, Sanjay Dutt gave a sarcastic speech in the style of his famous character 'Munnabhai'.
These statements of Sanjay Dutt are being discussed a lot on social media. Many people are seeing this as a taunt on the Modi government. After the debate on social media, Sanjay Dutt gave clarification on Facebook and said that his statement was seen in a different context.
He wrote, "I want to make it clear that it has never been my intention to hurt the sentiments of any person, community or institution, to insult or disrespect them.
My comments were made in the context of a scripted conversation, which was intended to be light and humorous. The spirit behind it was similar to the style of humor and satire shown in films like 'Munnabhai', specifically inspired by the philosophy of 'Gandhigiri', which aimed to convey the message of love, solidarity and goodwill. Unfortunately, my words were interpreted differently from their original context."

'If I become Prime Minister, I will stay in the country'
As soon as Sanjay Dutt stood up to speak in Shekhar Suman's show, he checked the mike and said, "Chal rela hai, chalo desh mein kuch toh chal rela hai (It's going on. Let's go, something is going on in the country)."
He said that after becoming the Prime Minister, he will live among the people of the country and will not go abroad to celebrate.
Sanjay Dutt said, "My dear countrymen, today I am very happy to be your Prime Minister. It is such a big country and there are so many people... but you guys should not take tension at all. I am not going to go abroad to celebrate this happiness. I will stay here only."
He said that only after staying in the country, direct contact will be established between the Prime Minister and the public. Therefore, in our government, maximum emphasis will be on brotherhood.
'Gandhiji's fourth monkey is also needed'
Referring to Mahatma Gandhi's three monkeys, Sanjay Dutt said that today there is a need for a fourth monkey, who will do right if he sees bad. If bad things are not corrected then how will the country run?
He said that if you see something wrong then you should try to correct it. He questioned how the country will run if people keep sitting with their eyes, ears and mouth closed.
Sanjay Dutt also made fun of the pictures of the leaders. He said that wherever there is a desire to put his picture, Mahatma Gandhi's picture should be put there because for the people, his thoughts matter more than any leader's picture.
He said that the country should first be kept in the 'frame'. He said that if the country has to be brought into the frame, the world will also have to be brought into the frame.

In his speech, Sanjay Dutt also mentioned US President Donald Trump.
He said, "I see that Trump Mamu is trying to take the whole world out of frame. That's why I will first go to America to meet Trump Mamu. Trump Mamu has gone a bit astray, isn't he? I will explain to him politely."
Sanjay Dutt said that if he becomes PM, he will tell Trump, 'Mamu, don't attack everyone. Don't wait for the world. If you attack one country, another country will attack another country and then everyone together will say – global peace, global peace.
He said, 'Where will peace come from after so many fights? Peace will not come in 10 minutes by pressing a button. Peace comes from love. And love comes from Gandhigiri. Trump uncle will have to be taught some Gandhigiri.
Sanjay Dutt said, "I would say look Trump uncle, there are already too many missiles in the world and now there is a need to export love."
He jokingly said that if someone feels like sending a missile, one should first send a bouquet and instead of threatening someone, one should phone him, invite him for tea and resolve the matter through conversation.
