We are a big, diverse country. We don’t have to agree on every issue, but we can certainly agree that every citizen should be heard respectfully in front of the powers that be.”“Respect to every student and every citizen who chose to stand peacefully for what they believe in. Jai Hind,” he concluded.
Hema Malini, Controversy Ranaut protest protest
Hema Malini and Kangana Ranaut, who were present on the first day of the Monsoon Conference, spoke to the media and said that they do not accept the protests. Mr. Hema said, “If there is a problem, it should be discussed properly. Protesting in this way will not gain anything. Regarding the youth of the country and education, our Modi government has always stood up and done a great job. Based on this, the protests you are doing now do not make sense at all.“Mr. Kangana said, “If you feel this strongly, you should stand alone in the election. You cannot twist the government to choose who to remove and keep; this kind of hand twisting is not acceptable. Gradually, everyone will flee to the Bharatiya Janata Party and Sanatan culture because this is our culture, while everything else was borrowed from the rest of the world.”
