Actor
Siddharth, who has been very vocal about the ongoing Citizenship Amendment Act protests in the country, has claimed that he has been receiving “tweet threats” aimed at him and his loved ones, from “several handles that are followed by PM
Narendra Modi.”
Taking to his Twitter handle this afternoon, the actor said, “I'm getting tweet
threats
for me and my loved ones to be fixed, arrested etc. from several handles that are followed by PM @narendramodi. We are trying to speak our minds in a free country. Ugly words and draconian laws will not choke voices of dissent. We will prevail! Jai Hind.”
Encouraging people to take up peaceful protests, he also tweeted, “Ab bhi jo na khaula woh khoon nahi hai paani hai... Jo desh ke kaam na aaye woh bekaar jawaani hai. Revolution is the life blood of democracy. Bleed for #India. #CAA #NRC #PeacefulProtest.”
Siddharth was among the first few celebrities to speak up against the
Delhi Police’s crackdown on students of the
Jamia Millia Islamia
University and the
Aligarh Muslim University. The actor stood in solidarity with the students protesting against the CAA and NRC and slammed the government in his tweet. He said in a post, “These two are not Krishna and Arjuna. They are Shakuni and Duryodhana. Stop attacking #universities! Stop assaulting #students! #JamiaMilia #JamiaProtest.”
