BJP’s call for a boycott of Deepika Padukone’s movie Chhapaak for her solidarity with injured JNU students amounts to offering moral and political support to the goons who attacked them. BJP and Modi government should be calming the situation instead of polarising further and making an already bad situation worse.

Bjp supporters were saying that jnu was attacked by left and when deepika standed with jnu on this then bjp supporters boycott cheepak. Are they telling that jnu was attacked by abvp ?
Absolutely Correct. Thank you Print for saying what needs to be said.
There is a court of public opinion, in which Ms Deepika Padukone and her critics / detractors will both be judged. Itna zaroor hai, some of the tallest men in Bollywood, with deep baritone voices, are now being dwarfed by her simplicity and courage. Many have noted that it is the women who are stepping out to do the right thing. Respect.
