South actor Siddharth, who has never feared to voice his opinion on the issues happening in the country tweeted, “#Fascists will try to delegitimize universities. They will create violence and spread lawlessness. They will then call for the shut down of centers of learning till they can take them over. They fear opinions and intellects. This is how the #Nazis did it too. Wake up! #JNUattack.” Let’s take a look at south celebs’ reaction on #JNUViolence:

Nivin Pauly

What happened in #JNU last night was horrifying and frightening. This is brutality at its worst! Those attackers behind this violence against students and teachers must be punished. It’s time we stand united against hate and violence. #StandWithJNU #JNUViolence

And now #ShutDownJNU is trending. The cowards who attacked #JNU wore masks. The ones who push trends to shut down universities don't. You can see them clearly for who they are.
