00:28 Suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma made her first public appearance since the Prophet Mohammad controversy,
00:34 attending a promotional event for director Vivek Agnihotri's upcoming movie, The Vaccine War, in Delhi on Sunday.
00:41 Nupur Sharma was seen on stage with the cast and producers of the film

00:54 I just want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you.
00:57 It is because of your efforts that we Indians are alive today, she said.

01:05 I'll simply say one thing, Bharat Mata ki Jai.
01:08 And India, she added, quickly correcting herself, Bharat can do it.
01:13 Nupur Sharma's remarks on Prophet Mohammad, made in a TV debate in May end last year,
01:18 angered Indian Muslims and outraged Islamic nations.
01:21 In response to objections voiced by numerous Islamic nations,
01:25 including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iran, regarding her contentious statements,
01:30 the BJP took the step of suspending Sharma from the party.
01:33 Additionally, Naveen Kumar Jindal, the leader of the party's Delhi media unit,
01:37 faced expulsion due to his act of sharing a screenshot of her offensive remark on Twitter.
01:41 The Supreme Court had also rebuked Sharma's statement and said that her loose tongue
01:46 had set the entire country on fire and blamed her for igniting emotions across the country.
01:53 Described as India's first bioscience movie,
01:56 The Vaccine War follows a team of steadfast scientists
01:59 as they develop an indigenous and affordable COVID-19 vaccine.
02:03 The film is based on the true story of the development of the Covaxin,
02:07 BBV152, an inactivated coronavirus vaccine developed by Bharat Biotech
02:12 in partnership with the National Institute of Virology and the Indian Council of Medical Research.
02:17 In the film, Nana Patekar plays the head scientist, leading this race against time.
02:21 Three-time National Film Award winner Pallavi Joshi portrays his second-in-command.

02:29 to discredit India's efforts and promote foreign vaccines.

02:37 Agnihotri is known for directing the Tashkent Files 2019 and the Kashmir Files 2022 in recent years.
02:43 Both films were commercial successes,
02:45 despite criticism of Pushey's contentious and pro-establishment narratives.
02:49 In the 69th, National Film Awards announced last month,
02:52 the Kashmir Files was awarded the Nargisat Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration.
