#Candle4SSR trends as a peaceful protest is planned for Sushant Singh Rajput on 7th August

The death of Sushant Singh Rajput has gotten celebrities and fans seeking justice for the late actor whose passing away by suicide is now an alleged murder. A digital protest and the first of its kind took place on July 22.

Two million people participated over social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Now yet another protest is to be held on the 7th of August.

Ishkaran Singh Bhandari, the lawyer leading these protests, mentions that he is expecting more people to join the crow this time, crossing the 2 million mark of the previous protest. The hashtag is to be decided a day prior to the protest.

“We request his fans and well-wishers to light a candle at 8 pm. Wear black bands on their forehead. You can also hold a placard or poster,says Ishkaran Bhandari. “People are worried, getting restless and angry, more so after the actor’s family lodged an FIR. We receive so many messages every day. To channel out their sentiment, I thought of starting this peaceful protest movement,” he continues.

Actor Shekhar Suman, who is an integral part of this movement for justice, says, “People are ready to come out on the streets. And that won’t be the right thing to do in the current situation. These protests pacify them in a way and also drives the message home that we all collectively want justice for Sushant. We might go live on the day (August 7) and interact with the people. Ishkaran will be organising it because it’s his brainchild.”

“These protests are a quiet manifestation of our anger. Let’s not get into legalities and technicalities, we just want to join hands together to get Sushant justice,” Suman says.
