Rapper and singer Santy Sharma, who has been rumoured to be part of Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 20, has revealed that he received death threats after speaking publicly about reservation reform. Sharma shared a derogatory comment posted under one of his social media posts and responded by saying that threats would not stop him from raising questions about the issue.
The rapper has been vocal about reservation and student related issues on social media and recently launched a public awareness campaign around the subject.
What Did Santy Sharma Say About The Death Threats?
Sharing the comment on his Instagram Stories, Sharma responded to the person who allegedly threatened him. He wrote, “Agar mai students ke haq mein aarakshan ki baat kar raha hoon, aur uske badle mujhko jaan se maarne ki dhamki mil rahi hai toh mai kisi dhamki se darne wala nahi hu. Dhamki mujhko chup nahi kar sakti (If I am speaking about reservation in favour of students and I am receiving death threats in return, I am not going to be afraid of any threat. Threats cannot silence me).”
In another post, Sharma explained why he believes he has been targeted.
He wrote, “I’m receiving death threats just because I’m speaking about reservation reform and asking questions that people don’t want to hear. I’m not against any student or any community. I’m only asking for a fair and honest discussion on the reservation system, And I will continue to speak about the truth behind the Cockroach Janata Party and its founders.”
“Threats won’t silence me. If speaking the truth comes with a price, I’m ready to pay it. Stay strong and keep asking questions,” the rapper added.
What Is Santy Sharma’s Reservation Hatao Campaign?
Earlier this month, Sharma launched a campaign titled “Reservation Hatao – August Kranti” and described it as an independent public awareness initiative focused on reservation related issues.
The campaign was launched during a press conference in Andheri West, Mumbai. Sharma said the movement would initially use social media to reach people before expanding to other online platforms.
Actor Puneet Vasishtha, who has previously appeared on Bigg Boss, attended the event and publicly supported the initiative.
Sharma’s campaign comes after a period in which his social media posts and comments about reservation and a student organisation he has referred to as the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) have attracted attention online.
