Piyush Mishra recently shared a video on social media, accusing veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah of selective activism. Naseeruddin Shah recently met Abhijeet Dipke during The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest held at Shivaji Park in Mumbai, where protesters demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
This happened on a Fly Dubai Flight 1073, a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. In this, Mr Smith Machchhar showed bravery and saved the lives of 180 people. The video that Piyush shared on social media has since been doing the rounds online. I am Piyush Mishra, an old acquaintance of yours. It was great to see you meet Abhijeet Dipke. Sir, an accident was averted recently. Please comment on this as well, congratulate the captain, he will feel nice. Piyush Mishra also spoke about the time he participated in a Jharkhand student protest and asked Naseeruddin Shah for help, but claimed that the actor stayed silent on the matter. Speaking about the same, Piyush made a reference to CJP protesters receiving online food deliveries from around the country as people showed their support for them, while the Jharkhand protest did not see the similar kind of support. Sorry sir, they didn’t want poems by poets there. They wanted flour, lentils, bread, jaggery and more. They didn’t want pizza or burgers.”
In it, he said, “Naseer Sahib, I offer my regards. Piyush indirectly took a dig at Shah for being vocal about The CJP protest in Delhi over the NEET paper leak, while, according to him, remaining silent when students in Jharkhand protested over alleged irregularities in government exams. He said, “Third, Sir, I asked you for help for Jharkhand, and you sent me a poem by a Pakistani poet.
Concluding his statement, Piyush Mishra said, “Now, whenever you make a statement, you’ll get a response from Piyush Mishra.”
During the protest, he told the media, “Naseeruddin Shah sir, you said something about celebrities remaining silent on the Cockroach Janata Party protest, saying that dogs with bones in their mouths won’t speak. The controversy between Naseeruddin Shah and Piyush Mishra is not new. There’s a saying that a dog with a bone in its mouth cannot bark. As soon as the bone falls from its mouth or its teeth break, then it will bark. Meanwhile, Piyush Mishra, who attended the Jharkhand protest, expressed his displeasure over a statement made by Naseeruddin Shah. My apologies, but with all due respect, I want to ask you, who are those dogs with bones in their mouths right now?”a. Thank you, sir. Your son, Piyush Mishra. Long live the revolution, sir. Thank you.”
Speaking to The Wire, Naseeruddin Shah had said, “Celebrities will speak when their conscience tells them to do so.
Earlier, during the NEET protests in Delhi, Naseeruddin Shah questioned the silence of Bollywood celebrities.
