#JamiaProtest: Taapsee Pannu, Anurag Kashyap, Mahesh Bhatt condemn the brutal attack by Delhi police

On December 11 CAB (Citizenship Amendment Bill) was passed in Lok Sabha. Since then, there have been protests in North-Eastern states against the bill. For the unversed, the bill grants citizenship to non-Muslims from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh living in India. The protests have now reached other parts of the country like West Bengal, Bangalore and Delhi to name a few. Students of Jamia Millia Islamia, Aligarh Muslim University and other universities are coming on roads to protest against the bill. Videos of police brutally beating up students and entering Jamia Millia are all over the internet.

Bollywood celebs like Mahesh Bhatt, Ali Fazal, Anurag Kashyap, and Taapsee Pannu among others are condemning the attacks by Delhi police on the students.

Have a look at the tweets here.

This has gone too far.. can’t stay silent any longer . This government is clearly fascist .. and it makes me angry to see voices that can actually make a difference stay quiet ..

In 1987 I made a film called Yeh Woh Manzil Toh Nahin on the background of student politics . Towards the climax the police enter the campus and brutally beat up the students . Nothing has changed . Terrible that now we know where the flowers gone . Crushed !

Wonder if this is a start or the end. Whatever it is, this is surely writing new rules of the land and those who don’t fit in can very well see the consequences.

What is happening in our country should make us all hang our heads in shame. Shame. Now is the time to come together and act as one nation, one people, one country. NOW.

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt is also against the bill and he has been tweeting. One of his tweets is a quote by J. Krishnamurti.

“If you have no love – do what you will. Go after all the Gods on earth, do all the social activities, try to reform the poor, enter politics, write books, poems- you are a dead human being. Without love your problems willl increase, multiply endlessly.”
