Recently, the BJP’s Mussoorie MLA, Ganesh Joshi, allegedly attacked a police horse during a protest in Dehradun. The animal suffered multiple fractures during the incident, which occurred during a protest called by the BJP against the state government. Reacting sharply to the viral video of the incident, actress Trisha, who relentlessly works towards the cause of animal welfare, posted on her micro blog — “Yes I pray u burn in hell!! Absolutely ashamed!”
Her heart was certainly in the right place — but the actress has been receiving mixed response online for her post. While many have praised her gesture, others are thrashing her stance, with comments like, ‘Aren’t you ashamed that you never gave voice for human killings in India? Or are u such a coward to speak out?’ Yet another follower Ganesh R responded, “Kuthura kala aadicha tweet podvenga. Anga Jathi verila oruthana vettuna video mattum tha Papeenga illa. NALLA Manitha neyam.” (You tweet when someone beats a horse’s legs, but only watch a video of someone being hacked because of caste politics and keep mum!)
Some have even pointed out that it seems to be a doctored video! Being a celebrity; should Trisha have verified the facts before making remarks? Apparently, the horse is doing fine now after a four-hour operation on Tuesday. Doctors have stated that the horse wouldn’t need amputation, and could walk by end of April.
