They have compassionate minds."Without directly naming him, the legendary actor also ridiculed the Trinamool Congress candidate."Would you like your representative to be a caring, compassionate, and committed person who will work for you, or would you prefer a turncoat opportunist who is also a serial hate-monger?"Saira Shah Halim's husband is senior CPI(M) leader, Fuad Halim, whose father is the late Hasim Abdul Halim, former Speaker of the West Bengal Assembly from 1982 to 2011.By-elections for the Ballygunge Assembly constituency was necessitated because of the sudden demise of Trinamool Congress legislator Subrata Mukherjee on November 4, 2021.The BJP has fielded former journalist Keya Ghosh.Recently, Naseeruddin Shah's wife, Ratna Pathak Shah, also a veteran Bollywood actress, had released a similar video message seeking support for Saira Shah Halim.IANS Kolkata For Latest Updates Please-
