Celebs join anti-CAA chorus, condemn police brutality against students

Many among them have previously been staunch supporters of Modi

Chetan Bhagat

The wave of celebrities joining in to support the students’ protest against the CAA is growing bigger by the day. After Bollywood’s clarion call to the public to join in the protest at the August Kranti Maidan, Mumbai on December 19, many more celebrities have tweeted out in support of the students, condemning the violence they were subjected to by the state.

What is interesting is that many of the newbies on the anti-CAA bandwagon, have previously openly supported and even defended the Modi regime. Many have also been known to play it safe and remain ‘apolitical’ in their public life. Their open condemnation of the regime’s tactics is proving to be a shot in the arm for the burgeoning movement to defend India’’s democratic and secular values.

Here are a few such tweets:
