Raghu Ram On Karachi Bakery Incident: “Beating Your Own People Is Idiotic, Not Patriotic”

MTV Roadies fame television producer and actor Raghu Ram says that harassing fellow Indians in the name of patriotism should be condemned and stopped.

He cited the sporadic incidents of violence and alleged harassment of Kashmiri students across India, and how a group of people protested in front of Karachi Bakery in Bengaluru, demanding a change in its name for its connection with Pakistan.

Raghu told IANS here: “The best people are there in our government and army to decide everything for the best in our country in the (current) political situation. As a citizen, we should support our government. Keeping that aside, the group of people who are beating innocent students to death and harassing people based on their identity is ridiculous.

“It should be highly criticized. Beating your own people in the name of patriotism is not patriotic, it is idiotic.”

He said the army does not discriminate.
