'Was making a point about education,' says Kajol after her comment on 'uneducated leaders' sparks huge debate

During the interviews for her upcoming show The Trial, actress Kajol was speaking to The Quint when she spoke about our country and political leaders. She said, “You have political leaders who do not have an educational system background. I’m sorry but I’m going to go out and say that. I’m being ruled by leaders, so many of them, who do have a viewpoint which I think education does give you at least the chance to look out for a different viewpoint.”

The social media outrage and debate

Here are some reactions:

If an uneducated leader (which you’re assuming) like him, helps in the growth of the country drastically like this; I’ll be proud to vote for him again and again. Proud ANDHBHAKT
