NEW DELHI — Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi, after party’s rout in the recently concluded Lok Sabha Elections, feels solace in pushing Rahul Gandhi’s “soft Hindutva” a level ahead conforming to the new social and political order.
Abhishek Singhvi in a tweet has lashed out at National Award-winner Zaira Wasim, 18, for citing her faith to quit Bollywood. She has done a disservice to Muslims, he said.
Attacking her decision and the reason behind that, Singhvi, in a series of Tweets, targetted Muslims as a whole saying that they considered acting “haram” while according legitimacy to a practice like nikah halala, where Muslim women have to consummate a second marriage before they can remarry their first husband.
हलाला जायज और एक्टिंग हराम,क्या ऐसे तरक्की करेगा हिंदुस्तान का मुसलमान ? #ZairaWasim

Any actors decision to quit films is personal. But giving it a religious colour is a grave disservice to those muslims who-
A. Are currently in the industry
B. Are aspiring to join it (especially women)
Just gives an opportunity to hardliners to label people as good/bad muslims.— Abhishek Singhvi (@DrAMSinghvi) July 2, 2019
if this reasoning of #ZairaWasim is adopted generically, wht wl happen to pride of India #AamirKhan #ShahrukhKhan #SalmanKhan #ARRahman #JavedAkhtar And many others!

Zaira Wasim, who made her debut co-starring with Aamir Khan in the 2016 blockbuster Dangal, has announced her decision to quit acting on June 30 saying she was not happy with the line of work as it interfered with her faith and religion.
In a detailed post on her Facebook page, which she later shared across all social media platforms, the Kashmiri-born Dangal-fame star said she realised “though I may fit here perfectly, I do not belong here”.
