A statement issued by the group has been signed by 102 organisations, representing the wide Indian diaspora living in the UK, including Hindu Council UK.
In the statement they said, they felt Bollywood need a reform from its core, ensuring only deserving talent succeeds. Among many other demands they have added that they want equal opportunity for all Indian actors and actresses without any undue advantage to any star friend or family member.
“We do have the intellect, drive and resources to make it happen and will do everything in our power to further along the retribution of all those involved, so that a price is paid for the barbaric and inhumane acts. We stand united. Those who are quiet in Bollywood must understand that in the pretext of saving millions of jobs, they can't get away this time. Their silence is deafening and also it means they support the perpetrator and are scared.
They further said, the UK NRI diaspora wants Bollywood to flourish but not at the cost of India’s national interest.
A van has also been seen making rounds in London with slides of LED photos of SSR titled #JusticeForSSR, #GlobalPrayerForSSRand #WarriorsForSSR, though one could not confirm, if it has been rented by the same group.
