Noted television presenter and actress Rashmi Gautam who is quite active on social media and vocal about various social issues has landed in trouble with her latest tweet on Holi. The actress on the eve of Holi cautioned her Twitter followers to pay safe Holi keeping the animals safe. “Let’s be a little thoughtful about them #SafeHoli #HappyHoli2019,” she tweeted.
However, her tweet was soon communalised by right-wing activists stating that why she only schools during Hindu festivals and not others like Bakrid, celebrated by the Muslims. “Do u comment same during Eid When dozens of animals r slaughtered for no good reason Or u care for animals during Holi and Diwali Pls just asking rest is ur wish.” In reply, Rashmi Gautam wrote, “Emotions are the same at that given point too But who can question religion???” wrote a user.
While there were many who condemned Rashmi but she also found support from some fans. Check out the Twitter responses and Rashmi’s reply.

Off course I feel bad
but how can I questions some ones religious views I cud have if I were from the same religion may be then it wud have validated
Or else it becomes less of an animal slaughter issue and more of a religious issue https://t.co/6cZkQv1i2k— rashmi gautam (@rashmigautam27) March 20, 2019
Today I’m presumed as ANTI HINDU when I’ll raise awareness on a bakrid I’ll be declared ANTI MUSLIM
Bottom line no one cares about inhumane practices towards animals all they care about is which religion tat human or practice belongs to
We are still divided hence we remain weak https://t.co/zT4GuUmuJX— rashmi gautam (@rashmigautam27) March 20, 2019
Well I guess u r rite
But what to do I’m a duffer
I do think of it a lot many times
Let the world go to hell let me promote commercial stuff and move on
But me being me I go back to square one each time https://t.co/DgveIpal3A— rashmi gautam (@rashmigautam27) March 20, 2019
