We all know that Priyanka Chopra is one good humoured being, who takes everything that comes along her way, obstacles included, with a healthy dose of laughter. This side of her nature is visible in her talk shows too. This is the reason when a happy soul like her gets serious, we perk our ears up and take attention.
Everyone knows about the immigration policies that the US President Donald Trump has enforced and the protests going on against it. And now, PeeCee has come forward and updated a post on her Linkedin account, regarding the same.
“The images have been adding up over the weekend. A young boy at an airport desperately clinging to his mother with fear in his eyes after being detained for hours at Dulles International airport in Washington DC, unable to fathom the chaos of being stopped entry into what he knew as his home.
The US has always acknowledged that it is a country built by immigrants. The anger, frustration, and helplessness that followed US State Department’s 90-day ban on people from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen from entering the US is justified.
As a global citizen, this has deeply affected me.
Getting ready to post this blog, I was grounded by the news. All of the ‘banned’ countries are places where a lot of UNICEF work is going on, where children are suffering the most. What can I add that people across professions and age groups have not already said? But adding your voice will definitely make a difference.
And make a difference we must. Please join me in making our voice stronger so that globally, our children are not discriminated against on the basis of their religion and do not have to bear the brunt of a political witch hunt.”
Well, we must say that we agree with her post which hits the right mark on all counts.
Let’s see, where the US and the world as a while go with this.
On work front, Priyanka can be seen in the TV series ‘Quantico’. She will next be seen in her Hollywood debut ‘Baywatch’, wherein she will be essaying the role of the villain, and sharing screen space with Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.
