A brief background of the #MadamChiefMinister team.

A Thread...
The film has one "AA Films" as its distributor. This company has a total of 3 directors, of which the longest serving one is none other than Raveena Tandon 🙄

Even if we leave aside her political inclination for a moment, let's just hv a look at some of her views on Caste

So she isn't ready to even acknowledge the existence of Caste-based discrimination, but is completely fine to monetize on a story, APPARENTLY dealing with the struggles of an "Untouchable" woman...

Adding to that, she is openly Anti-Reservation..

Now how can someone who's against our basic right to representation, do market a film that in anyway empowers the SC/STs, is just beyond my comprehension.

Apart from all this, the film is being directed by Subash Kapoor, and co-produced by his wife, Dimple Kharbanda.

Kapoor has been accused of Rape, and his wife has also been caught on camera, pleading to the victim to drop the case.

Unless n untill Kapoor's acquitted of all charges, how can we even believe in their "allyship".

Richa says that she won't judge Kapoor, since the matter is subjudice. Well Ms. Chaddha, u r not allowed to be selective in such matters...

...the same logic wd even apply to MJ Akbar, Kuldeep Sengar, or any other rape-accused.

B4 trying to become our Saviour, IG u shd first SIT DOWN n learn the basics of Social Justice, rather than labelling those who call u out as "sexist" n "no less casteist than UCs"

P. S. -

In short a rape-accused UC man is making a film, which in d name of empowerment, maligns our mvmt n its leaders, with a Liberal UC woman in the lead role. And the profits wd go into the pockets of an Anti-reservation, Hindutvawadi UC woman.

Arre SC/ST waalon ....
