New Delhi . The issue of criticism and trolling on social media regarding Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha's support to the student movement has now become a part of political debate. Her father and Trinamool Congress MP Shatrughan Sinha came out in support of his daughter and alleged that the trolling being done against him is not natural, but there are people working in an organized manner behind it.
Shatrughan Sinha said that the people targeting Sonakshi are allegedly paid trolls. He blamed BJP IT cell and the people supporting its policies for this. According to him, the kind of atmosphere that is being tried to be created against Sonakshi on social media is artificial and people who are pushing pre-prepared messages are behind it.
Praising his daughter's stance, Shatrughan said that Sonakshi herself is not too worried about trolling. He praised her strength and said that Sonakshi has the ability to face situations. After his statement, this issue has come under discussion at both political and social media levels.
Sonakshi Sinha was among the first film celebrities to come out in support of the student movement. He had expressed his views on social media in support of the protesters. He appreciated the students who put forward their demands and ideas in a peaceful manner and said that the strength of the country lies in its youth.
Sonakshi had also expressed concern over the incident that happened with social activist Sonam Wangchuk. He had shared the video in support of Wangchuk and other student protesters while condemning his removal during the protest. The actress had said that the protesters tried to express their views in a peaceful and respectful manner despite difficult circumstances.
She also said that for the last few days she has been watching Sonam Wangchuk and thousands of people standing with her. According to him, despite the inconveniences and disappointments, the protesters did not adopt the path of violence and remained firm on their beliefs. Sonakshi had called his attitude commendable.
When Sonakshi started being criticized on social media for this political and social stance, Shatrughan Sinha publicly defended his daughter. He accused BJP IT Cell of trolling and called it a politically motivated campaign. However, these allegations have been made by Shatrughan Sinha and are being seen only as claims expressed in his statement.
During this, a question was also asked to Shatrughan Sinha whether Sonakshi Sinha can enter politics in future. He did not give any clear answer on this possibility. He said that he cannot say anything about this and earlier used to talk to his daughter on such topics.
Shatrughan Sinha praised Sonakshi's public activism, calling her his worthy daughter. At present, no official announcement has been made regarding Sonakshi's political future. In such a situation, his statements related to student movements are being seen as his current social stance.
