Mumbai: A day after Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker compared the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan to that of the situation in India, #ArrestSwara Bhasker began to trend on Twitter on Wednesday.
Swara tweeted: We can’t be okay with Hindutva terror & be all shocked & devastated at Taliban terror… & We can’t be chill with #Taliban terror, and then be all indignant about #Hindutva terror! Our humanitarian & ethical values should not be based on the identity of the oppressor or oppressed.
She later rephrased it:
Let me rephrase! The #Taliban doesn’t deserve our nuance .. notwithstanding American Imperialism which is wrong and must be critiqued. But Taliban does not deserve nuance. Recognise their many many evils and wrongdoings! https://t.co/mzrsUpjUTV

The Twitterati objected to her identifying the word “terror” with “Hindutva”.

Can people like #SwaraBhasker be sent to Kabul so that they can enjoy the liberating Sharia law under Taliban?
Such fiberals in India have completely lost their minds.

Notably, Swara received backlash in 2020 when a clip of the actress opposing the CAA bill went viral on social media.
