A Twitter battle has been raging all through Tuesday between actress Richa Chadha and filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, who is also the president of the Indian Film and Television Directors Association. It all started when filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri claimed that dummy students are being sent to Jamia Millia Islamia University to join the ongoing protests against CAA. "3000 students. 30,000 protestors. Who supplied 27,000 dummy students?" wrote Agnihotri.
To this, Ashoke Pandit added: "#ISupportDelhiPolice... @anuragkashyap72 @MaheshNBhatt @anubhavsinha @RajkummarRao @humasqureshi #SwaraBhasker @BajpayeeManoj @RichaChadha & many more like these friends of ours have supplied dummies." This did not go down well with Richa Chadha, who took to slamming Pandit with her tweets, and a public mudslinging followed.
I am absolutely fine Richa ji. If U hv a right 2 your opinion so do I.That doesn’t mean I disrespect U. By d way It’s the communists & #UrbanNaxals who gt pd to break d country & not us. It’s the echo system of this Cabal we are fighting.#IndiaSupportsCAB #IsupportDelhiPolice. https://t.co/y7yYEhOmvD

You have yourself defined the meaning of #UrbanNaxal by this stupid act of yours. We don’t abuse. Urban Naxals stoop low when they fear of getting exposed. I hv the guts to take such antinational’s head on both peaceful means. https://t.co/W0LvdFbgt8

Meanwhile, Richa has retweeted a tweet by Sonakshi Sinha who has shared a copy of Preamble to The Constitution of India. Sonakshi wrote in her tweet, "This is what we were, what we are and what we MUST remain! #neverforget."
The Dabangg girl's tweet comes at a time when several Bollywood celebs are voicing their protest against police violence on the students of Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia University.
