The translated version:
“Madhu shouldn’t be called a tribal. I call him my brother. The mob killed by brother. If you think as a human, Madhu could be your brother or son. Above all, a citizen with equal rights like us. You shouldn’t call someone a thief if they steal out of hunger. Poverty is a creation of our society. Our system which gave the power of justice to that violent mob is equally responsible. No matter whatever be the reason, people lynching fellow beings is unacceptable. How do we proclaim to be civilized in this dark world of hunger and trial? Madhu…. sorry.”
The Facebook post by the actor turned out to be an instant hit as it has been widely shared across social media. The post garnered over 80,000 engagements in the first 2 hours itself.
The actor has also shared a picture of Madhu. Thousands of people have commented on the post, applauding the actors stand on condemning the brutal incident.
