कल बाबा राम रहीम को रेप के आरोप में कोर्ट ने दोषी क़रार दिया है, जिसके बाद से उत्तर भारत के कई इलाकों में बाबा के समर्थकों द्वारा हिंसा की ख़बरें आ रही हैं. हालात इतने ख़राब हैं कि पुलिस भी हिंसा को काबू में नहीं कर पा रही. हर तरफ़ यही चर्चा है कि कैसे धर्म और आस्था लोगों को अंधा कर देती है.
ऐसे में कई राजनेताओं और सेलेब्रिटीज़ ने अपनी प्रतिक्रिया दी है. ज़्यादातर लोग Twitter पर हिंसा की निंदा करते नज़र आये हैं. ये हैं इस बीच आये कुछ प्रमुख Tweets:
The instances of violence today are deeply distressing. I strongly condemn the violence & urge everyone to maintain peace.

Violence is what #GurmeetRamRahimSingh seems to have taught his followers. This is nonsense & Govt. needs to use full force to STOP it NOW.
