Celebrities land on street, cries for justice



Saturday was a black day for the Indian, when the brave heart gape victim, 23 yr old paramedical student died after 13 days of struggle for survival at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore. Protestors land on road after the news of the death broke out and thousands joined in the silent protest, they were joined by many noted celebrities. Everyone cried for justice, demand for quick justice and want the Government to hang the six of them at the earliest.
Celebrities from different walk of life joined the commers in their silent protest for justice. Mumbaikars and all the people of Indian demand for change in law system. It was a silent protest, totally mum but deep anguish against the current political and administration system of the country.
Bollywood stars took to twitter to express their grief and appeal to the Govt for quick justice.
Here are the tweets:-
"'Amanat', 'Damini' just a name now... her body has passed away, but her soul shall shall forever stir our hearts !!!," Amitabh Bachchan posted on Twitter.
His son Abhishek, who has a daughter with wife Aishwarya Rai, said, "I have always been a very proud Indian. Today, we should ALL be ashamed. Will it always take an innocents death for a nation to awake? This is not the country I grew up in as a child, this is not the country I want my daughter to know whilst she grows up!."
Singer Lata Mangeshkar said, "Enough is enough. It is not the death of Nirbhay Damini but the death of humanity in our country. It is time for the government to wake up from its deep slumber and punish the criminals behind this heinous crime."
Veteran actress Shabana Azmi, who has been very vocal on the issue, tweeted, "And SHE PASSES AWAY in S'pore RIP. Our impotence stares us in the face. May SHE become the wakeup call our country needs. We must soulsearch
"Safety of women is a prerequisite of a civilised society. We do not want to be deified as goddesses we want equality we demand respect. It is time to reflect, to analyse, to soul search how each segment has been culpable and led to a mindset that makes man treat woman like property (sic)."
"Her greatest betrayal is that we will forget. Political system's greatest hope is we will forget. Our only redemption is if we do not forget," said filmmaker Shekhar Kapur.
Mahesh Bhatt: "Shut all temples where you pretend to worship the female form. Cry India! Your hands are drenched with the blood of your own daughters. Woman your silence will not protect you. Speak or be silenced forever. Rage."
