B-town stands with Jamia students
On Sunday, reports of clash between police and students of Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia University started doing the rounds. Several celebrities from Bollywood have condemned this action on Twitter. Here’s what they wrote...
Not fair: Richa Chadha
This is heartbreaking… in which civilized country is this normal? Why such excessive force? Who tear gases students studying inside a library? Nothing justifies this.
Really shocking: Swara Bhasker
Shocking messages of violence, tear gassing from #Jamia in #Delhi! Why are students being treated like criminals? Why are hostels being tear gassed.. ??? What is going on #DelhiPolice ???? Shocking and shameful! #CABProtests
Gone too far: Anurag Kashyap
This has gone too far… can’t stay silent any longer. This government is clearly fascist… and it makes me angry to see voices that can actually make a difference stay quiet.
Speak up: Pooja Bhatt
To speak with silence when we should protest is what makes cowards out of men. India is burning. One can’t be mute anymore.
Honest plea: Vir Das
Dear Govt, If you’re looking for non-violent discourse and debate… quit shutting down the internet. Last I checked, it was more thinking and talking… less bleeding. Young people can’t set the internet on fire and you can’t lathi charge the internet. What say?
Forgotten our roots: Vikrant Massey
This is a picture of students from #JamiaMillia holding photos of #Ambedkar& #Gandhi opposing the #CAA2019. We haven’t forgotten our roots. And we will fight to regain the lost sanity of this proud country?? #StandWithJamia #Delhiviolence
Deafening silence:Kubbra Sait
If this voice and plea don’t shatter your inner demons, I don’t know what will. Is the end here? Or can we still save ourselves. Where is the Prime Minister? The silence is deafening.
Less time: Ali Fazal
I pray we all realise there is no job, no career above humanity. Socho, aur time kam hai toh act fast; irrespective of your political ideologies right now.
True answer: Anubhav Sinha
When no one has the answers, students do. Look at history worldwide.
