Ishkaran's #Revolution4SSR for Sushant Singh Rajput gathers momentum; Shweta, Ankita join
Ishkaran Bhandari's #Revolution4SSR for Sushant Singh Rajput gathered momentum even before the digital protest began. Shweta Singh, Ankita Lokhande joined in.
The role of fans and family of Sushant Singh Rajput as his death case making global headlines can’t be denied. One of those, being known as ‘SSRian’ or ‘warriors of SSR’, has been Ishkaran Bhandari. After being appointed by Subramanian Swamy to look into the scope for CBI probe just days after SSR’s death, the advocate has led numerous initiatives that became talking points.
Ishkaran’s latest initiative receives support
Ishakaran Bhandari had led initiatives like #Candle4SSR and #Warriors4SSR much before the case had been transferred to the CBI. The initiatives had climbed to the top of the trends charts with numerous celebrities also joining in support. The lawyer is now set to come up with his third digital protest, ‘Revolution 4 SSR’. The hashtag received 2,25,000 tweets even before the initiative was to start at 6pm on Thursday. Ishkaran took a dig at team Rhea Chakraborty by highlighting how the 'paid PR' had 'flopped.'
One can participate in the initiative by sharing a photo with a red band. Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister Shweta Singh Kiriti joined it by posting a photo. She wrote that they had faith in the CBI, and hoped that the 'crucial' next few days could bring out good news.
Ankita also used the #Revolution4SSR hashtag and wrote, ‘we are in this together.’
Meanwhile, another initiative that has become a talking point has been ‘World 4 SSR’ movement. Indian-Americans in California raised their voice, seeking justice for SSR. Banners were also put up on a billboard in Missisippi. One of them also acknowledged the role played by Republic TV and Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami.
