MP Calls to Revoke Awards from Pan Masala Endorsers
An MP named Hanuman Beniwal spoke in the Indian parliament about two important issues.
First, he said that famous actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Salman Khan should not get national awards if they promote harmful products like pan masala and gutkha.
He believes these products cause serious health problems like cancer.
Second, he talked about illegal mining in the Aravalli mountains, which is harming the environment.
He wants the government to take stronger action to protect these mountains and punish those who break the rules.
He also mentioned that many cases of illegal mining have been reported, but not enough is being done to stop it.
