Zinta
have
condemned
the

on
an
ex-navy

Madan
Sharma,
who
was
beaten
up
by
a
mob
for

a
WhatsApp
post
on

Swara
Bhasker
also
shamed
the
entire
incident
and
wrote,
"The
attack

elderly
gentleman
by
the
#ShivSena
for
a
joke
on
@CMOMaharashtra
@OfficeofUT
is
shocking,
shameful
&
utterly
condemnable.
Violence
of
this
kind
has
no
place
in
a
civilised
democracy
&
you
cannot
claim
good
governance
if
basic
law
&
order
isn't
maintained.
Shame!"

62
year
old
retd
Indian
Navy
Veteran

blue
cuz
he
forwarded
a
political
cartoon
on

app.
Seriously?
What
happened
to
freedom
of

What
happened
to

our

Very
upset
&
sad
to
hear
this.This
is
NOT
OK.
