"The government first got Jaya Bachchan disqualified as member of the Rajya Sabha. It has now sent notices to Amitabh Bachchan, who has celebrity status in our country," Venkaiah said in response to a question from newsmen on the notices. "This is unprecendented. Why are they after only one family? I cannot understand," he added.
When asked if he was defending the superstar, Venkaiah replied in the negative, adding that actors could be asked for explanations only if they didn't pay taxes.
