John Abraham Makes BIG Statement, Says 'Women, Children, Animals Not Safe In India': 'Aadmi Ko Rakshak...'

John Abraham believes that to love one’s country, one must criticise its shortcomings instead of indulging in jingoism. As such, the actor said that India is not safe for women, children and animals. He said that Indian men need to realise how to treat women in society and become their protectors.

John told Ranveer Allahabadia on his podcast, “Women, children and animals are not safe in India. It is sad. Indian men need to understand how to treat their women. Yeh bohot important hai. Har aurat ke liye, ek aadmi ko ek rakshak hona chahiye. Kyuki main Hindustan se pyaar karta hoon, I’m an India lover, bohot zaroori hai ki main India ko criticise karoon. Patriotism and jingoism main fark hai. ‘Mera Bharat mahaan’ kehne se aap India lover nahi bante ho. Aap tab hi India lover banoge jab aap society main change laoge.”

In the same conversation, he said, “Mera ek hi maksad hai life main ki main apni choti si duniya main society ko change kar sakoon. Jaanwaron ko ek status dedoon. Jaanwaron ki jo haalat hai Hindustan main, it’s getting from bad to worse. Dukh ki baat yeh hai ki jaanwaron ki saftey ke liye ek bhi law nahi nikala hai. Iss point pe argue nahi kar sakte mere saath when I tell you that women, children and animals are not safe in India. Can you debate this? You cannot debate this.”

John’s statement holds importance at a time when the brutal rape and murder case in Kolkata has left the country in shock. Recently, celebrities like Alia Bhatt, Parineeti Chopra, Vijay Varma and Richa Chaddha among others have taken to social media to talk about the horrific incident.

Meanwhile, on the work front, John Abraham is currently seen in Vedaa. Inspired by true and harrowing events, Vedaa delves into the dark and brutal world of caste-based violence and social discrimination. Drawing from the tragic stories of Manoj-Babli, victims of a heinous honour killing, and Meenakshi Kumari, who was subjected to a barbaric punishment by an all-male village council, the film centres on three key characters caught in the storm of societal injustice.
