Comedians Criticize Celebrities for Late NEET Protest Support

Comedians Munawar Faruqui and Jannat Zubair have criticized celebrities for only speaking up about the NEET paper leak protests after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the issue.

They pointed out that many influential personalities remained silent for the past 25 days while students and protesters were actively demonstrating.

Munawar suggested that celebrities' support seemed to be driven by public pressure rather than personal conviction.

He emphasized that true solidarity lies in speaking up during difficult times, not just when it becomes socially acceptable.

Jannat Zubair also questioned the timing of the industry's collective support, implying that empathy arrived all at once.

Both comedians suggested that earlier support from influential voices might have made a difference in the situation.
