“We are dealing with a government that lies, which has got the entire machinery to lie for them. They have zero empathy and sympathy.”

- Anurag Kashyap, filmmaker

In an interview at 1 am outside the Gateway of India, where hundreds of Mumbai residents were protesting against the Modi government, Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap speaks to The Quint about why he has joined the protests.

Kashyap also comments on how there were more Bollywood celebrities at the protests in Mumbai than there were at the dinner hosted by Union Minister Piyush Goyal. “They didn't go, a lot of them didn't go, this is a big victory. Their refusal to go for an invite from the government is a big victory.”
