Time to shut down these hate machines. Pass it on please.
Earlier, this month, Babita posted a cryptic tweet, referring to the incident that took place in Indore where a mob attacked Healthcare workers and police personnel’s after they tried to screen residents of a locality of Coronavirus patient.
However, following #SuspendBabitaPhogat a subsequent hashtag #ISupportBabitaPhogat was also trending parallel across the nation. They lauded the wrestler for having the guts to speak the truth.
Please Note: We have not posted Babita Phogat's tweet as it could incites violence among communities and can also hurt the sentiments of a single community.
