Several B-Town folk have spoken out against the police crackdown on yoga guru Baba Ramdev in New Delhi calling it undemocratic and shameful. Here's what they have said on Twitter...
PREITYu00a0ZINTA
A dark and sad day for India! How dare the cops tear gas and lathi charge women, children and peaceful protesters against corruption! Not DONE!
CELINA JAITLY
Corruption cannot be battled by the bhook hadtaals of these self-proclaimed leaders with a personal agenda. Every one cannot be Anna Hazare.
RAVEENA TANDON
This country gives everyone the right to protest! Remember?
VIVEK OBEROI
Watching disturbing images of injured, crying women and elderly people. Violence is never a solution. What happened to our Gandhian legacy of ahimsa?
ANUPAM KHER
It is shocking to see how police and authorities have behaved with the crowds at Ramlila Maidan. It is unfair and undemocratic. Shame.
SHEKHAR KAPUR
In this one stupid act the government has sent the message that peaceful protests no longer work and opened the road to violence. 50,000 Indian citizens are victims of police brutality for the crime of wanting to express their anguish at the corrupt system.
RAM GOPAL VARMA
Considering our great Indian mentality more than Hazares and Ramdevs fasting we might get better results if Shah Rukh Khan, Rajnikanth, Sachin Tendlkar and Katrina Kaif fast.
RANVIR SHOREY
Shameful state of affairs. The government has turned Ramlila grounds into a mini-Tahrir. All on their own. The people want the government to be corruption-free. The government says it wants to be corruption-free. Where's the need for tear gas?
VISHAL DADLANI
Ramdev is an irritant, and his political views are notoriously nonsense-based. But, charging a peaceful crowd? What was it? Col Dyer Diwas?
On a song
Manoj Kumar's evergreen song Mere Desh Ki Dharti from his film Upkar will feature in a documentary being made on Baba Ramdev. The veteran actor was requested by the makers to use the track and he willingly agreed.
