Recently, one of the protests by students of Jamia Millia Islamia University took a dark turn when the police used violence and excessive force against the protesters.
At the time, only a handful of Bollywood celebs – and John Cusack – spoke up about the matter, calling out the police brutality.
Actor Sushant Singh was one of the few to partake in the protests himself. But slowly, as the protests continue, it’s becoming harder and harder to stay silent. It seems like a few have eventually found their voices.

If this is what’s gonna happen everytime a citizen expresses their view, forget #CAB, we should pass a bill and not call our country a democracy anymore! Beating up innocent human beings for speaking their mind? BARBARIC.

My mother is a Hindu, my biological father was a Christian, my adopted father – a Muslim. In all official documents, my religion status stays blank. Does religion determine I am an Indian? It never did and I hope it never does. #OneIndia #India

My heart goes out to all the students back home in Delhi. In a democracy like ours, its sad to see violence against citizens for voicing their opinion through peaceful protests. There should be no place for violence of any form & intent in our country. I strongly condemn this act

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
