Director Pa. Ranjith has joined the list of over 100 film-makers from across the country who released an appeal to the people not to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Saving democracy
Under the umbrella of ‘Save democracy’, the film-makers had said in their statement that they had taken a stand against the BJP for unleashing polarisation and hate politics, increasing censorship and causing the steady erosion of cultural and scientific institutions among other reasons.
The appeal was put up on https://www.artistuniteindia .com/ and other noted film-makers who have signed in the campaign include directors Vetrimaaran, Aashiq Abu, Leena Manimekalai, Lijo Jose Pellissery and Rajeev Ravi.
