#ArrestSwaraBhasker trends on Twitter after actress compares Hindutva to Taliban terror

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.

The tweet soon went viral, drawing widespread outrage for associating the term ‘terror’ with Hinduism. #ArrestSwaraBhasker quickly became a trending topic as people demanded that the actress be arrested for her remarks.
