Swara Bhasker starts an online petition to curb mob lynching

Actress Swara Bhasker has lent her support to a social cause that she strongly believes in. The actress has started an online petition to curb mob lynching on Change.org. She has demanded a ban on cow vigilante groups. She has appealed to the lawmakers for the enactment of MASUKA (Manav Suraksha Kanoon) to abolish such crimes.

She writes in her petition, “I am an actress in the Indian Film Industry. But as a conscientious citizen of India, cannot allow these lynchings to take place… I, along with thousands of young Indians, stood up against this public menace in protests that were recently held across 20 cities of the world. We, together, said #NotInMyName, to such violence. Next day, PM Modi issued a statement condemning the killings in the name of gau raksha (cow protection). But even after vigilante violence has continued.” [sic] (Also Read: When Swara Bhasker had her ‘fan girl’ moment with Shah Rukh Khan!)

She concluded her appeal by saying that it was the right time for PM Narendra Modi to “walk his talk”. She concluded, “We want him to preserve our social independence.”
