Rapper and singer Santy Sharma has claimed to be receiving death threats following his public opinion about the reservation reforms. The independent artist went on to share a concerning comment on Instagram and said that these threats will not stop him from raising voice about the reservation system.
These comments from Sharma come days after he started a campaign titled “Reservation Hatao – August Kranti,” which he calls a public awareness movement centered around reservation issues. The campaign was announced at a press conference in Andheri West, Mumbai on August 3.
Why Is Santy Sharma Receiving Death Threats?
As per Santy Sharma, the alleged threats are linked to him speaking about the reservation system and reforms. The rapper shared a derogatory comment on his Instagram story stating that these threats will not be able to silence him.
In a post addressing the issue, Sharma said he was speaking about reservation in favour of students and questioning aspects of the existing system. He maintained that he was not against any particular student or community and wanted what he described as a fair discussion on reservation.
Sharma further accused that he was being targeted because he raised some uncomfortable questions. He asserted that he would go on talking about the issues in spite of the threats made against him. These allegations have been made by Sharma himself via his own posts on social media, and there is no confirmation whatsoever of the person who allegedly made the threat in the reports available.
What Is Santy Sharma’s Reservation Hatao Campaign?
Sharma started his “Reservation Hatao – August Kranti” movement recently. It was termed by him as an independent awareness movement which would start with discussions related to reservation through social media channels.
The reason why this movement has gained much popularity is that Sharma has always had a very strong stand against reservation. Even an actor like Puneet Vasishtha who has participated in Bigg Boss is seen supporting this movement. Sharma has said that the movement is in no way associated with any political party. But his recent activities on social media have made him a part of a larger debate on reservation reform.
