After Alia Bhatt, Shaheen Bhatt Get Rape Threats On Instagram, Soni Razdan BLASTS The Platform; Says It's 'ALL WRONG'
Just sometime back, Alia Bhatt's sister Shaheen Bhatt shared a series of screenshots where she was getting rape threats and other filthy messages targetting her and Alia. Shaheen also promised to shame them openly and take legal action. After Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely death, netizens are constantly crunching out hatred and venom for some Bollywood biggies and star kids including Alia Bhatt. So much so that many even had to limit their comment section on Instagram. However, after the rape threats and abusive language that they all have been receiving from users, this time their mother Soni Razdan also vented out her anger and slammed the photo-sharing app for the harassment. 

She called out on Instagram saying that as the app has zero-tolerance policy, Soni Razdan thinks that 'misogynistic slurs, intended to subdue and oppress' SHOULD also fall under the guidelines. She even said that she should not have to change the way she uses a platform if someone is being abusive and Soni Razdan wants a 'Full stop' as it is high time now. She backed the screenshot with, "@instagram I do hope you’re reading this and taking some note of it. Because it really gets to the root of the issue. So easy na to let the abusers off the hook. To let yourself off the hook."
 
She further stated the platforms are not doing enough to prevent abuse and was seen using hashtags like 'stop online abuse' and 'stop abuse against women'. Her note read, "To let the onus fall on the abused to take action to protect themselves. It’s basically and fundamentally ALL WRONG. And it’s high time it was stopped at the source itself. And the stinking abusers get their just desserts. Social media has for too long now become the most antisocial media mainly because those running the platforms are not doing enough to prevent abuse. #enoughisenough #stoponlineabuse #stoptheharrassment #stopabuseagainstwomen"
