Preity Zinta and her best partner Ness Wadia have been pulled to court by NGO Global Human Rights Counil (GHRC). Preity Zinta holding the King XI Punjab team of Indian Premier League has used the figures of freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukhdev in the advertisements of their team hurting the sentiments of people.
Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukhdev were brave martyrs in Indian Freedeom struggle who were hanged to death by Britishers on 23rd March 1931, exactly the same today. We celebrate the day as ‘Amar Veer Diwas’ in memory of their bravery. Preity Zinta has used their images for popularity of her team, which is by no means a justifiable act.
Summons were issued by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Anshul Berry on a complaint filed by city GHRC and Priety Zinta along with Ness Wadia has to attend the court on April 2.
