“I simply won’t be a part of mob justice for I have seen it end a life and that trauma will always stay with me,” says Ushna Shah

Word for thought

Ushna Shah is shedding some light on the topic of mob justice. The actress shared photos of her Habs co-star Feroze Khan and the late Dr Aamir Liaquat, along with a note on her Instagram and said she will always speak out against bullying and ostracising, something she has experienced herself, because mob justice can leave to the loss of someone’s life. “It is a punishment far too harsh for most alleged crimes. It is not for myself or for the online mob to ‘forgive’ for nothing was done to us. I simply won’t be a part of mob justice for I have seen it end a life, that too not long ago, and that trauma will always stay with me,” she said. “We are in an age where it is our duty to stand in solidarity with fellow women, that might make men guilty until proven innocent, and that might seem unfair, but that’s the price they now pay for what we have endured since the dawn of mankind. This solidarity does not entitle us to punish until there is nothing left to do but mourn the accused,” she wrote. Shah concluded by saying, “I will not enable, nor will I ostracise and bully.”
