Hema Malini gets flak on Twitter for calling population the cause of Kamala Mills fire
While Twitteratti generally trolls actresses for their steamy pictures and other posts, this time we feel the criticism was justified.
Mumbai: The fire breakout at a building in Kamala Mills in Lower Parel killing 14 persons in the process has thrown light on several important issues.
The incident has prompted the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to go on a crackdown spree, with officials being suspended, illegal structures being demolished and eateries coming under the scanner.
However, Member of Parliament and actress Hema Malini had an altogether different take about the tragedy.
When asked why such tragedies regularly occur, Hema Malini was quoted as saying by ANI, “Population is so much, the city is spreading like anything. Some restrictions should be done on the population. Each city should have certain population/limit, after that they should not be allowed. Then let them go to another city.”
Her comment didn’t well go down with Twitter users, who vented their ire at the actress.
Is Hema Malini out of her mind? When asked about #KamalaMills tragedy, she had absolutely no sign of empathy on her face, simply blamed the growing population and asked people to move to other cities. This is not the first time, she has displayed such insensitivity.

I never thought Hema Malini would be this insensitive! First it was her statement when accident happened in Rajasthan and now this!
Arghhh and these people are our representative. Maybe we deserve this only as we are the one who vote for these kind of people. https://t.co/wgeHZPNcsJ

Shocking statement from Hema Malini ji. Madam please make some sensible statements. Over population has nothing to do with fire accident. See over the safety issues there & about closing of second exit, which is more imp and need necessary investigation.
These people should not make such irresponsible statements. If they are not aware, stay quiet rather than blabber some nonsense

Not just that, Hema also got trolled, with Twiteratti poking fun at her insensitive comment.
When a M P does not know what to speak and how to speak then it better to observe silence. It is said "silence is gold".I am referring to a controversial statement of Hema Malini.

Genius? She's Indie-Genius! One of a kind (hopefully). Essentially, she's advocating deforestation or migration. What does she think Indians are - Sarus Cranes? Sheesh!

#HemaMalini took her role as the Kent purifier brand ambassador too seriously. Now wants to bring shudhata to Indian cities, while her own mind is drowning in pure filth !!!

#HemaMalini is out of her mind. Quotes Migrants as cause for #KamalaMillsFire tragedy. Shud remember she is also a migrant. Follows @RajThackeray1 ideology @OfficeOfRG @ghulamnazad @AnandSharmaINC @ashokgehlot51 @JM_Scindia @MallikarjunINC @rssurjewala pic.twitter.com/Yfaipefrvr
