Actor Abhay Deol on Wednesday in his Instagram post said that #MigrantLivesmatter, #Minoritylivesmatter and #PoorLivesmatter.
He further penned a long note for the migrants in his post.
He therefore countered the woke celebrities in his Instagram post, he drew attention towards the massive protests in the United States following the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, by police.
Dev D actor Abhay in his Instagram post said that “Maybe it’s time for these now? Now that “woke” indian celebrities and the middle class stand in solidarity with fighting systemic racism in America, perhaps they’d see how it manifests in their own backyard? America has exported violence to the world, they have made it a dangerous place, it was but inevitable that it would come back karmically. I’m not saying they deserve it, I’m saying look at the picture in it’s totality. I’m saying support them by calling out the systemic problems in your own country, because they turn out to be one and the same thing. I’m saying follow their lead but not their actions. Create your own actions, your own movement, relevant to your own country. In the larger picture, there is no “us” and “them”. There is not a country that’s real. But a planet in peril.
