Celebs Come In Support Of CJP Protest In Delhi’s Jantar Mantar
Shabana Azmi
Shabana Azmi reportedly fell ill during a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on Monday while participating in a demonstration in support of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). The incident occurred a day after the actor had visited the protest site to show solidarity with the ongoing agitation. A video from the venue has since surfaced on social media, showing the 75-year-old actor appearing visibly weak and only partially conscious. In the footage, several people are seen supporting her by holding her hands and escorting her through the crowd.
Students at the protest can be heard requesting security personnel to open a gate so that Shabana could be taken to a safer area. After informing the guards about her condition and identity, they were allowed through. The actor was then escorted to a security cabin, where she was helped into a chair. The reason behind her sudden illness remains unconfirmed.
Shabana had first reached Jantar Mantar on Sunday, where she met CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and others participating in the hunger strike. Videos from her visit had also garnered significant attention online. Earlier in the day, before her health scare, Shabana spoke to PTI about the purpose of the protest. She said, “We are here to hold a peaceful protest. This is a right guaranteed by our Constitution. Mahatma Gandhi taught us the path of non-violence. We have no intention of resorting to violence.”
Javed Akhtar Wrote To PMO
Shabana Azmi, who joined protesters at Jantar Mantar, said Javed Akhtar had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to engage with the protesters. She revealed that the letter was acknowledged, but despite a promise of a reply, they never heard back. She shared that her husband, lyricist Javed Akhtar, had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to engage with the protesters. “We received an acknowledgement saying we would get a reply in two days, but we never heard back. That is why I am here today.”
