Actress Swara Bhasker has once again become the subject of controversy as people are clamouring for her arrest. In a statement on Tuesday, the actress compared the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan to Hindutva.
‘We can’t be okay with Hindutva terror & be all shocked & devastated at Taliban terror… & We can’t be chill with #Taliban terror; and then be all indignant about #Hindutva terror! Our humanitarian & ethical values should not be based on identity of the oppressor or oppressed,’ she wrote on Twitter.

Another commented, ‘Such chicanery to shift the discourse from #Taliban to #Hindutva trying to equate them & yet claiming the moral high ground for doing so!’
