This is what happened to many who dare raise question against the virtuosity of the CAA. Many students who did dare the Act have been given dose of arrogance through police batons.
Amid cries about why Bollywood remain taciturn, ones who dared to dub police high-handedness are excluded from ‘Sabka Sath’clan conundrum.
How do we do about ‘Beti bachao’
When actor Parineeti Chopra described the police excesses in Jamia Milia Islamia, she has to face a double whammy; axed as an ambassador for ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ campaign in Haryana and some trolls from anonymous followers bat on her face with something cuss. She is also a ‘beti’.
How could actor Sushant Singh dare join the anti-CAA campaign at Kranti Maidan? Get out of the popular Tv show ‘Savdhan’!
Even Priyanka Chopra had said something in favour of the protesting students, the axe is yet to fall on her. Lucky, she is in US.
It is the unfettered right of each citizen to say something about certain happenings or, if any hypocrisy there behind a decision the government takes.
But, landing a lateral blow on his her sovereign right to represent someone, is strikingly in contrast with the spirit of our constitution. Or crudely, speaking, it is politics of vengeance.
The bigger question is who takes such decisions to punish a man or woman making straight talks?
Manoj Vajpayee, Anurag Kashyap, Richa Chaddha,Sabana Azmi, Farhan Akhtar and a host of others have outrightly denounced the CAA and they must be waiting for their share of barbs from the power-that-be.
Vice cannot be sold as virtue
Notwithstanding what CAA stands for or what NRC is supposed to push forward but, not in modern political events history has been so marked by intolerance and self-estimation.
One elementary focus behind all these developments and narratives is one thing that is, slavery.
