Adding to this, Diljit, Sonakshi, Huma among celebrities supporting students after Parliament march clashes On Monday, thousands of students, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak issue and irregularities in the exam system, attempted to march to the complex but were pushed back with teargas and batons.
Meanwhile, The Cockroach Janta Party , a satirical digital outfit which has been spearheading the protest since late last month, has accused the Delhi Police of using excessive force against protesters to prevent them from reaching Parliament, alleging that several students were injured.
Notably, While celebrities like Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj participated in the student march, many voiced their support and concern on social media.
As per the latest buzz, Star-singer Diljit Dosanjh, who is in the US, shared what students faced on Monday was "very wrong".
In further updates, "Students should not have been treated like this. I request the authorities to listen to the students' demands. I have already been labelled an 'anti-national' several times. Even now, I know I will be called anti-national again...After the farmers' protest, I faced a lot of backlash and legal problems that I still cannot even discuss," Dosanjh, whose last rollout "Satluj" was removed from a streaming platform within two days of its rollout, shared in an Instagram post.
On top of that, Star-comedian Vir Das shared it was important to speak out for the youth.
"If you are an Indian live artist, I hope you understand the sheer hypocrisy of not speaking up for the people, and then trying to sell them tickets later. You are appearing as a silent viewer to what the Indian crowd cares about, and then expecting an Indian crowd to be loud and vocal and care about you. You do you. Doesn't work. The concert economy in India is built on young people gathering in support.
