About
a
couple
of
days
ago,
actress
Priyanka
Chopra
shared
a
post
on
her
Instagram
page
about
the
killing
of
George
Floyd.
She
captioned
the
post
saying,
"There
is
so
much
work
to
be
done
and
it
needs
to
starts
at
an
individual
level
on
a
global
scale.
We
all
have
a
responsibility
to
educate
ourselves
and
end
this
hate.
End
this
race
war
here
in
the
US,
and
around
the
world.
Wherever
you
live,
whatever
your
circumstances,
NO
ONE
deserves
to
die,
especially
at
the
hands
of
another
because
of
their
skin
color."
"On
May
25th,
George
Floyd
was
pinned
down
by
the
neck
by
a
Minneapolis
police
officer
and
died.
He
laid
there,
fighting
for
his
life,
struggling
to
breathe,
and
other
officers
just
stood
there
and
watched.
The
officer
has
now
been
charged
with
murder.
George,
I
am
praying
for
your
family.
❤"
While
Priyanka's
pots
might
have
received
support
from
her
global
fans
but
her
fans
from
India
are
anything
but
impressed.
Her
fans
and
followers
asked
her
in
the
comments
section
about
why
did
not
she
raise
voice
against
riots
in
India.
Netizens
slammed
Priyanka
for
not
taking
any
stand
against
riots,
which
happened
in
Delhi
and
Kashmir
and
asked
the
actress
to
be
more
fair
towards
her
nation.

"How
do
we
believe
your
activism
when
you
never
spoke
up
about
minorities
who
died
in
your
own
country
at
the
hands
of
the
state
this
year?"
@devansh1103
"Where
was
this
outrage
when
Dalits
and
muslims
were
getting
beaten
here
in
India?"
@ingloriousbello
"Hey,
here's
your
brownie
points
for
your
performative
wokeness
about
the
police
violence
in
the
america
but
staying
silent
about
the
Delhi
riots
and
the
systematic
police
brutality
in
Kashmir!
You
do
you
Priyanka!
Go
ahead
with
your
performative
wokeness
and
showing
off
your
goodwill
ambassador
badge
lmao."
@volatilekum
"Okay
so
you're
against
police
brutality
outside
home
but,
you
don't
even
acknowledge
what
happens
here.
You
pretend
to
be
"woke",
but,
your
silence
has
been
loud,
your
attempts
to
look
empathetic
in
your
apathy
have
been
noticed
and
will
be
remembered.
But,
oh
no
maybe
I
should
stop
yelling
because
we're
all
here
for
(very
selective
and
convenient)
love."
