There has been widespread outrage on social media over the arrests of seven people in connection with the Bhima Koregaon violence of 2017. Among the seven arrested were social activists Sudha Bhardwaj, Gautam Navlakha, Varavara Rao, Vernon Gonsalves and Arun Ferrier. The arrested persons have been charged under relevant IPC sections of criminal conspiracy and en promoting enmity among castes and religious groups. They have also been slapped the charge of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

The left activists and the liberals are under the impression that the arrests have been made by the government to shut down their voices, while the real culprits go scot-free. They have taken to social media to express their dissent of the unfair treatment meted out to the arrested individuals. Among all this brouhaha, Twinkle Khanna had put out a tweet, that without referring to these arrests, but the intent is easily deductible.

It is clearly evident that Twinkle feels that our democratic freedom is under attack and these arrests are a definite hint towards that. However, her tweet has not gone down well with the RW trolls, as expected. Some of them bashed her for being pro-Congress (her father, the late Rajesh Khanna was affiliated with Congress), while others ask her to 'learn' from her husband Akshay Kumar, who is known for his pro-BJP leanings.

Check out some of the tweets below -

And these are a couple of tweets that aim at Akshay Kumar.

Twinkle Khanna has an opinion and it may differ with the ideals or the party that her husband supports. That can happen, people! No need to bracket them under the same umbrella!
