Bollywood Terms Schoolbus Attack An Act of Terror

Jan 25, 2018, 12:32 IST

Bollywood celebrities like Farhan Akhtar, Sudhir Mishra and Vishal Dadlani strongly criticised the attack by Shri Rajput Karni Sena activists on a school bus carrying children and staff, terming it an act of "terrorism".

In Gurugram, a school bus carrying children and staff was also damaged in stone-pelting, though no one was said to be injured.

Here's how the celebrities reacted:

Attacking a school bus is not an agitation. It is terrorism. The people who did it are terrorists. Please refer to them as such.

Every act of benevolence or hatred these days is done to please a constituency. I want to know who are the people who support an attack on children.

Dear @narendramodi ji. Just today, in a BJP-run state, a bus full of school children were attacked by goons. This "discussion" has been on since November. Your Govts in 4 states have been unable to contain a bunch of criminals. Could you please denounce them publicly, at least? https://t.co/JiUB7r3lIT

Dear @INCIndia we are as surprised by your quiet as we are about everyone else's. Just so you know. A good opposition should be out there in the streets seeking justice. You are as responsible for this chaos as anyone else.
