'Once Again Became The Contractor Of Riotous Religion': Actor Zeeshan Ayyub On Bengaluru Violence

Violent protests ripped across eastern Bengaluru on Tuesday night over an alleged inciting Facebook post by a relative of a legislator, in which three people died while around 60 police personnel were injured.

New Delhi: Bollywood actor Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub who has been quite vocal with his thoughts over social, political events in the country, has once again come strong and put forward his views on the recently held Bengaluru violence in which three people died while around 60 policemen suffered injuries. The actor who has been part of many successful movies like Ranjhanaa and Tanu Weds Manu 2, strongly condemned the incident that took place in Bengaluru on Tuesday night. Zeeshan said that a strict action should be taken against those responsible. His comments came after violent protests ripped across eastern Bengaluru late yesterday over an alleged inciting Facebook post by a relative of a legislator, in which three people died while around 60 police personnel were injured. According to the reports, a large mob gathered outside Congress MLA Srinivas Murthy's residence and rioted in DJ Halli, KG Halli and Pulakeshi Nagar, demanding the arrest of MLAs relative Naveen for his alleged derogatory social media post. Commenting on the same, the actor took to his official Twitter account on Wednesday morning and wrote, "Just got the news about #bangaloreriots ... is the whole country filled with things?? Once again became the contractor of the riotous religion !!" Zeeshan further said that neither does he know what the post on Facebook was about, not he wishes to know. He strongly opposed the violent incident by terming it 'wrong' and demanded a strict action on it.

Just got the news about #bangaloreriots ...पूरा देश ही जाहिलों से भर गया है क्या?? फिर एक बार दंगाई धर्म के ठेकेदार बने!! मैं नहीं जानता कि ‘Facebook’ पर क्या post थी, और ना जानना चाहता हूँ। ये सीधे तौर पे ग़लत है, इसपे कार्यवाही होनी चाहिए!!

Who benefits from the riots every single time? Who wants to hide their failures ? Those are the ones behind this too.
