Not only the public but celebrities too have taken the streets to protest against the ongoing lynchings in the name of religion.

A recent Facebook post by a Gurugram-based independent filmmaker, Saba Dewan, has led to a powerful online campaign “Not In My Name”. The campaign has been supported by number of people including celebrities such as Varun Dhawan, Girish Karnad, Dia Mirza, Shabana Azmi among others.
