Sona Mohapatra questions silence of A-listers amid MeToo movement: ‘Not one woman or man stood up to speak any truth’

Singer Sona Mohapatra has opened up about why the MeToo wave didn’t change into a significant success in India. She was replying to a follower who claimed that the MeToo motion was hijacked very early on in India and was usually used to settle private scores.

After an actor accused Anurag Kashyap of sexual assault, a Twitter person tweeted, “Have always held that the #MeToo movement was hijacked very early on, & often used to settle personal scores. Online trails & destroying men on hearsay is dangerous. Question is: Why are the most vocal “believe her” advocates now all of the sudden within the “diss her” & “believe him” mode?”

 

Sona took to Twitter to share her views on the identical. She wrote, “& no one from #Bollywood , the so called A listers actors & general ‘virtue signallers’ on all other matters that land them visibility & endorsements gave a flying f in any case even then. Not ONE woman or man stood up to speak any truth or anything in this matter. @IndiaMeToo.”

Turning down the person’s declare that the MeToo motion was used for settling private scores, Sona replied, “Sad that you should make such broad stroked judgements on a movement that hardly found air to breathe here;victim shaming being so rampant.Can you please list any of these call outs that were used to settle ‘personal scores’ specifically?I know more than 100 that were silenced.”
