Raj Thackeray’s charges deserve no attention: Bachchan

MUMBAI : Breaking his silence on Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray���s attack on him, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has dismissed his charges that he did more for Uttar Pradesh than Mumbai, saying the remarks did not ���deserve any attention���.

���Random charges are random; they do not deserve the kind of attention you wish me to give,��� Mr Bachchan said in an interview to a local tabloid. The actor was responding to a query on the impact of the MNS chief���s charge on the actor and his family, more than a month and half after Raj had attacked Mr Bachchan.

The actor said, ���This is a free country and every individual enjoys the liberty of free speech. The law of the land and its Constitution are supreme. Every Indian should be affected by that.��� Raj Thackeray had said that although Mr Bachchan made fortunes by staying in Mumbai he had done more for UP than this metropolis or Maharashtra.
