Speak up for dissent

Pooja Bhatt and Suchitra Krishnamurthy

Pooja Bhatt condemned the alleged violence against protesters at Delhi's Jantar Mantar demonstration on October 10. Taking to X, she wrote, "Lawlessness. Injustice. Vile schemes being encouraged. Violence being inflicted on the young, old, media, and even people passing by. Navratri is a powerful reminder of the ultimate triumph of good over evil." Suchitra Krishnamurthy also took to social media and wrote, "Democracy is not merely the right to vote. It is the right to question, dissent and disagree without fear. When dissent is met with intimidation, democracy itself is
diminished."
