Priyanka Chopra, who hosted the Global Citizen Concert at
Central Park
in New York last month, took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the recent developments surrounding the
Coldplay concert that is slated to take place on November 19 in Mumbai. She said, "Nothing can stop change..and shouldn't...so excited for #globalcitizenindia Mumbai."
This statement comes in the light of Congress and
NCP attacking the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance government for waiver of entertainment tax and rentals to the upcoming Coldplay concert by
Global Citizen India
(GCI). The opposition has complained to the State Election Commission demanding that the event be postponed until after the ongoing civic elections process in the state.
PeeCee shared a statement released by GCI to her Twitter handle highlighting the good work being done by the organisation. "We are a non-partisan movement making efforts to create long term change and work towards getting India to take on a leadership role in achieving the end of extreme poverty. We are deeply disappointed that this work is being caught in the middle of politics as usual. Our platform aims to unify and bring together all stakeholders, catalysing the youth using popular culture, to ensure India takes on a leadership role in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals," said the statement.
