'You Have Time To Praise New Parliament', People Slam Bollywood's Silence On Wrestlers' Protest
From Shah Rukh Khan to Akshay Kumar, a lot of Bollywood celebrities have tweeted about the inauguration of the new Parliament building, but Twitter is appalled at their silence on wrestlers' protest.
On one hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi installed the Sengol in Lok Sabha chamber in the new Parliament building, and on the other hand, several protesters who had attempted to march from Jantar Mantar were detained.?
An FIR was registered against the organisers of the wrestlers' protest.
"A case has been registered against wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat and other organisers of the protest. A few wrestlers had come to Jantar Mantar at night to protest, they were denied permission and were sent back," said Delhi Police.??
Reacting to the FIR, Vinesh Phogat said a new history was being written. "Delhi Police takes seven days to file an FIR against Brij Bhushan for sexual harassment but did not take even seven hours to file an FIR against us for carrying out a peaceful protest. Has the country slipped into a dictatorship? The entire world is watching how the government is treating its players. A new history is being written," said Vinesh Phogat on her social media handle.
Meanwhile, Bollywood stars including SRK, Akshay, Hema Malini and Anupam Kher hailed the "new Parliament for new India".?
Their silence on wrestler's protests has not gone down well with many.?
