I guess you have not seen IT cell bhakts threaten repeat of 1984 to Sikhs, or trend Indira Gandhi during protests or otherwise.
Better observe them more carefully. They bring up 1984 only to taunt INC barb on 2002. Otherwise they had no issue with 1984 and LK Advani himself boasted of how he and Jan Sangh egged Indira Gandhi to send army to Punjab. Sanghis like Girilal Jain and former RSS chief Nanaji Deshmukh had justified 1984. RSS had helped Rajiv Gandhi in 1984 election and supported INC then.
They never bothered about 1984 at all until 2002 and later started using 1984 to counter INC on treatment of minorities or pogroms.
Kangana is only doing bidding of the party that has helped her get even with others by giving her prime time air time. Her Emergency film will also be based on RW version of events of Indira's life. IT cell and many BJP leaders had publicly called farmers Khalistanis. Trolled Diljit also. Modi being silent does not mean RW was not peddling hate against Sikhs and Punjabis or farmers or even Jats.
Please look up all reports, YT videos and tweets of that time to see who was behind hate against farmers.
Kangana, Kher or Mukesh or Vivek get LOVE or admiration from their target audience of RW. They do not bother about hate that minorities or liberals or foreign media give them nor they bother about has beens or ageing actors and producers of BW as long as BJP is rewarding them handsomely.
You may not agree but Kangana or Vivek or Kher etc know what they are doing. Their number of followers, RTs, subscribers tell the story.
Yes, I saw BJP it cell (disguised as normal ordinary people) trending a repeat of 1984. @red I was active on all social media handles, closely following the news and videos. Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean they are missing something. Those were scare tactics being used to get the farmers to stop protesting. The Khalistani label was a part of the othering they have used in all previous protests like JNU and CAA. That these people are protesting because they are bad people or they are against India that was they are against the Indian government. Who runs the BJP IT cell of course BJP politicians. But did you see any politician openly threatening for another 1984? They can not get away with something like that now and they would not openly threaten do it even if they were planning some human rights abuses.
Yes, I know many of BJP party members were involved in 1984. But if I talk to arch BJP supporters they state the many reasons they can not vote for Congress due to 1984. But RSS was heavily involved. And RSS is now more closely associated with BJP. But there are many BJP politicians like Subranium Swamy who condemn her for it. Amit Shah has condemned Indira on the emergency. Even Modi has his fair share of times of condemning Indira.(even though they are not much different in terms of authoritarianism). So there are not isn't a whole bunch of consensus on how they openly feel about Indira. Yes, a few politicians might be proud of the fact they egged her on and can admit they were part of it. But there're others who also use this to degrade Congress. (even if they are same in terms of authoritarianism)
I don't know where how we got here. My only take is Kangana is not a victim of any kind. And her hate goes beyond her loyalty to her party. And if she knows what she is doing, doing it for rewards, and not bothered about the hate she gets in return then why did you say you feel bad for her in one of your post? She can't be a victim?
If she knew what she was doing why would her latest film flop? Why would she be banned from twitter? She has 9 million followers on instagram. Diljit has more than her. To think she use to be a top actress once upon a time. And yes, even BJP seems to have distanced itself from her.
