Ever since it has been
revealed through late Bollywood actress Jiah Nafisa Khan's suicide
letter that she was raped and tortured, people are shocked. While Mumbai
police took a quick action and began to trace Suraj Pancholi, raided
his home, arrested, et al, many Bollywood bigwigs have maintained
silence on this issue.
If Bollywood stood firm
to support the campaign against rape and discrimination, why are they
quiet now and not raising their voice? It was Farhan Akhtar who
initiated this campaign, and promoted it. Now, questions are being
thrown right in his face as to why is he maintaining silence on Jiah's
rape issue and not taking a step against Suraj?
Kamaal R Khan asks on
Twitter, "What is MARD doing in jiah' s case? No comments from Farhan
Akhtar? Is it because he is amongst u?"
Men Against Rape and Discrimination or MARD is
a 2013 social campaign launched by filmmaker and actor Farhan Akhtar.
The term MARD (meaning ‘Man’) has been used in the short form of the
campaign name. The campaign aims to raise social awareness against rape
and discrimination of women. Ever since this campaign was launched, iyt
gained popularity on several social networking sites and received
positive feedback from many of the top Bollywood actors – Shah Rukh
Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Arjun Rampal, etc.
Here's the motto of MARD:
If you are a man who respects women,her rights,her dignity,her independence,her mind,her body, her life..you are a #MARD(Men Against Rape And Discrimination)
If you are a man who respects women,her rights,her dignity,her independence,her mind,her body, her life..you are a #MARD(Men Against Rape And Discrimination)
