If speaking up for children in the way of harm is now grounds for a desh-nikala', then we need to question our definition of who is a good citizen and a true patriot.
For years now, 'Go to Pakistan', has been the rallying cry against celebrities who dare to express a political opinion. And now BJP MP Vinay Katiyar has told Priyanka Chopra that she is not welcome in India anymore, after she demanded that the international community step up to help Rohingya refugees.
"People like Priyanka Chopra don't know the reality of Rohingyas. VIPs should not visit there (Rohingya refugee camps). This sends out a wrong message. Priyanka ji should not have gone there. How and why she did she go there? This is a matter of concern. Rohingya Muslims should not be allowed to live here and those who sympathize with them should also be not allowed to live in India, ANI quoted the BJP MP as saying.
