Amid The Clash Between Celebrities, Actor Siddharth Urges People To 'Know Your Propaganda'
As the celebrity opinions on farmers protest remain divided, several stars from the film fraternity have taken a strong stand on the issue. While many are supporting the farmers, others are urging people to not fall for propaganda. There are some celebrities who have stayed silent on the issue. Salman Khan on the contrary took a neutral stand and he is being trolled for that as well.?
Amid all this, South Indian actor Siddharth, who is known for his role in?Rang De Basanti, has urged people to choose their heroes wisely.?
"Choose your heroes wisely or watch them fall from grace. Education, empathy, honesty and a little spine could have saved the day. Alas," he wrote.
In another tweet, he criticized the celebrities' identical tweets and wrote,?"When powerful people who never take a stand, all suddenly sing the same tune in an orchestrated effort and just tow the line they are told to like pawns, that's what propaganda is all about. Know your #propaganda. #farmersrprotest."
"Human rights violations albeit by an elected government must be seen in the same vein as domestic violence or child abuse, and hence, can never be an internal matter. #FarmersProtest," he added.
Singer-composer and actor GV Prakash Kumar said that people have right to protest.
¡°People have the right to protest. The government should protect the interest of the people. Forcing farmers to accept the new laws is suicide. People protesting for their rights and is a democracy (sic).¡±
