Not many would have forgotten actor Rajinikanth's statement that equated Narendra Modi and Amit Shah to Krishna and Arjuna, after they did what they did at Kashmir this year. Parodying the same, actor Siddharth has called BJP's top-duo, one of whom happens to be the Prime Minister of this country as "Shakuni and Duryodhana", two of the most cunning and manipulative characters from the Hindu mythology 'Mahabharata'.

These two are not Krishna and Arjuna. They are Shakuni and Duryodhana.

Siddharth's statement came as an expression of fury over police attacking the students of Jamia Milia Islamia University, who had put up a protest against the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Delhi Police had entered the varsity campus and detained several students for their alleged involvement in 'violent protests' and circulating videos of ruckus between police and the students have caused a lot of concern for the latter's safety.

Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), who were one of the first ones to come out in solidarity with Jamia University also witnessed violence after police clashed brutally with protesting students.
