Disturbed by the brutal rape and murder of Jisha, a Dalit law student at Perumbavoor and the Bengaluru molestation, South Indian film star Priya Mani has urged women to get out of India. 

 

Joining the campaign #JusticeforJisha, the actress said that she was both shocked and appalled by both the incidents.

very soon, the actress found in a tight spot as she received disparaging comments on her tweets. 

Priyamany had a tough time explaining her position after the twitteratti started trolling her. 

To everyone who's replying to my tweets...I request u to READ my tweets properly..I have never spoken against our country!

A similar comment made by Bollywood actor Aamir Khan on 'intolerance'  a few months had triggered a major controversy with some people accusing him of defaming the country as well as hurting sentiments of people.

And I'm being called Anti-Indian...😂😂😂😂..sigh..#sad#
