India saw two opposite scenarios within a few kilometres. Where at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, a wrestlers’ protest was swept and several people were detained, just at a distance the new parliament building was inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi. Where one side of the coin wept, the other side smiled!

After the detention of wrestlers, one selfie ignited controversy featuring Sangeeta Phogat and Vinesh Phogat.
Where some say that they were sad, others say that it has been morphed into a smiling picture. TV actress Uorfi Javed referred to the context of morphing a sad pic into a happy said that nobody should stoop so low. Uorfi took to Twitter and came out in support of the protesting wrestlers.
Uorfi wrote, “Why do people edit photos like this to prove their lies? Kisi ko Galat thehrane ke liye itna nahi girna chahiye ki jhoot ka sahara liya jaaye (One should not take support of lies to prove the other person wrong).” She added both pictures in her tweet for clear context.
universo virtual reached out to India’s award-winning sprinter Dutee Chand and asked her about the ongoing wrestlers’ protest.
She told us exclusively, “I stand with my players. I request the government to take fair measures as soon as possible. The players who brought laurels to the country, because of whom the country is known across the globe, don’t deserve to sit on roads. When the government can call us and honour us when we win something, then we accept them to support us in our down days as well.”

“If a fair decision is made then the parents from across the country will feel safe to send their children in sports else they would be very hesitant to see the ongoing scenario. Sexual harassment is prevalent across sectors. We don’t know who’s right or wrong but a legal trial must take place very soon”, Dutee concluded.

Well, where the film fraternity remains mum on the whole scenario, other than Uorfi, actor-producer Pooja Bhatt tweeted, “Male Priests respectfully escorted through the parliament. (folded hand emoji) Female Athletes are manhandled on the streets. Joy? Sorrow? Pride? Shame? What are we meant to stay with or feel?”
