Three days after 49 eminent personalities wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing concern over incidents of lynching and the alleged weaponisation of the slogan "Jai Shri Ram", 62 others have hit back, accusing them of "selective outrage, false narratives and a clear political bias" in an open letter.
The authors of this new letter include Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chief Prasoon Joshi, Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut, filmmakers Madhur Bhandarkar and Vivek Agnihotri, and classical dancer and Rajya Sabha member Sonal Mansingh.
