After suggesting that ‘emergency’ be imposed in the country again, veteran actor Rishi Kapoor has now advised that liquor stores should open every day for a few hours. Rishi said that amid the coronavirus lockdown, cops, doctors and general public will need alcohol to take the edge off! Taking to twitter on Saturday, Rishi wrote, “Think. Government should for sometime in the evening open all licensed liquor stores. Don’t get me wrong. Man will be at home only what with all this depression, uncertainty around. Cops, doctors, civilians etc… need some release. Black mein to sell ho hi raha hai.”
This tweet became the target of trolls. “Rich people think in a different trajectory altogether,” wrote one. “@MumbaiPolice this man is blackmarketing liquor !! Please arrest him,” read another comment. One Twitter user also asked Rishi to tweet more responsibly and not recommend alcohol as a release for depression.
