Mumbai Anupam Kher has condemned the attack on Border Security Force (BSF) soldiers in Tripura. He expressed anger over this incident and raised the question why there was no anger among the general public regarding this attack. The veteran actor shared a video on social media, in which he praised the restraint shown by the injured soldiers. He specifically mentioned a soldier who, despite being attacked, did not take any retaliatory action. Anupam Kher also praised the action taken against those involved in the attack. He said that violence against security personnel should never be considered a trivial incident.
While sharing the video, Anupam Kher wrote that he felt very sad and angry after seeing the footage of the attack on BSF jawan in Tripura. He told that he has made this video due to this feeling. In the video, the actor stressed that we should understand the human being behind the uniform and also think about the families who wait for them to return home. He said: 'I saw a video in which some people, including women. BSF soldiers were being beaten mercilessly with sticks and punches. They continued to beat a soldier even after he made him fall on the ground. To be honest, my blood boiled after seeing this, it is completely wrong to beat up a person who is just doing his job and when that person is performing his duty of guarding our borders and keeping us safe, then such a sight becomes even more painful and angry.
He further said in the video, 'These soldiers are also someone's children, someone's husband, brother and son. Just because they are wearing uniform, please do not consider them any different from us nor leave them to their fate. Every Indian who has even a little love for the country will be filled with anger after seeing this and it should be so. I am saddened that this incident did not receive the kind of public anger or protest that it deserved. Look, we raise our voice against domestic violence and other types of atrocities and it is right to do so, but when we see a young man being beaten like this, where do our sympathies and our voices go? We should not ignore such violence as an everyday occurrence. This should never be considered normal. We often assume that the soldiers deployed at the border will protect us, but it is also our responsibility to raise our voice to protect their honor and dignity.
Anupam Kher expressed happiness that BSF soldiers are getting justice. He said, 'I am happy to know that strict action has been taken against those involved in this incident. This is not the satisfaction of taking revenge from someone or seeing someone punished, but it is the assurance that the barbarity meted out to a soldier has not gone unnoticed and a clear message has been given. He said at the end of the video, 'To that soldier, I pay my respects and salute him. Despite being beaten so badly, he did not lose his temper and did not respond to violence with violence even when he could have done so. This is the patience and discipline of our soldiers. Along with the strength of the uniform, they also show amazing restraint. That's all I had to say. I was feeling angry. Jai Hind.'
