Telugu Actress Faces Backlash For Her Comment On Anti-CAA Protest

Lakshmi Manchu is dealing with backlash on Twitter after she criticized the brutal action of police against the students of Jamia Millia Islamia University, Delhi and requested PM Narendra Modi to end the riots. Lakshmi, known for voicing her opinion on recent affairs, took to her Twitter page to condemn the Delhi police's act on Sunday.

Lakshmi Manchu tweeted a photo with a statement, "Every bill that comes out has been thought thoroughly for the betterment of 1.3 billion people. However, just because the parliament passes something doesn't mean it's the common will of the people. And that is why we are the biggest democracy. India is burning right now and this is not how we see our beautiful country. I have a lot of faith in Modi Ji to make sure that these riots come to an end; that he will do what is right by the people. But I condemn these riots and police brutality. It should stop immediately. I believe in the constitution."

People were disappointed with Lakshmi Manchu's tweet. In reply to her tweet, some people said that the Telugu actress's reaction was based on fake news and she is not aware of the fact that the police took the action after the Jamia students started pelting stones, vandalizing and damaging public property.
