Emma, Before u support this case, u should understand the politics and conspiracy behind... Blindly supporting means reducing your fan following... All the best... — Chandrakant Chaudhary (@Chandra24323044) May 4, 2018
Will someone tell her that panel set up by Bar Council of India gave J&K Bar Association members clean-chit. After probing their actions ,the panel concluded accusations of Deepika were false, they were protesting to give the case to CBI. — Manoj Bharadwaj (@Maddy_Mulpie) May 4, 2018
How much were u paid to tweet this pic and by whom ??? @Shehla_Rashid — the speaking tree (@Itsme90149153) May 4, 2018
You're gonna lose the respect you command, if you don't read up on that issue before tweeting nonsense. Unless of course, you too have given up on the pretense of being unbiased and are now agenda driven more than ideal driven as was made out by popular media. — ज्योति S. కుమార్ (@JyotiSNK) May 5, 2018
This is a fake case @EmmaWatson . Where Hindus are falsely being framed by Islamic terrorist to force a demographic change in Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The lawyer being held as a hero is a proxy for these terrorist. She is a villain to majority Indians. — Mangal Pandey (@m4n9A1) May 4, 2018
