Mumbai | The Congress party today announced that Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha election from Mumbai North Constituency.
Taking it to Twitter, recently elected Mumbai Congress President Milind Deora congratulated Urmila Matondkar.
I welcome Urmila Matondkar's nomination as the Congress candidate for Mumbai North!
Urmila will be a powerful voice for freedom of speech and expression in Parliament. We need artistes who will fight back against hate, against fear, against censorship.
