Over 20 celebrities, including Anurag Kashyap, Vishal Bhardwaj, Mahesh Bhatt and Ratna Pathak Shah, joined hands to urge “Delhi Police to stop abusing the lockdown” and put an “end to the witch-hunt” against “students and activists protesting against CAA”. The artists released the statement on Sunday on Twitter. “To fight this pandemic, the citizens and authorities need to stand by each other. By targeting activists taking advantage of the lockdown, when there is hardly even any media coverage of its actions, the Delhi Police is betraying the civic rights of the citizens. We urge the Delhi Police to stop abusing the lockdown, respect the human rights of our fellow citizens and put an end to this witch-hunt. We demand the release of these students and activists”, the celebrities urged in the statement. (IANS)
