“We Will Fulfil Your Dreams”: Slogans Raised In Support Of Sharjeel Imam At Mumbai LGBTQ Rally In Mumbai

In the Mumbai Pride Solidarity Gathering 2020 organised by Queer Azadi Movement (QAM), a group of students started raising radical slogans and chanted ‘ Sharjeel Tere Sapno Ko Manjil Tak Pahuchayenge’ (We will fulfill your dreams, Sharjeel).

In the video that has gone viral, a group of people can be heard chanting radical slogans while also raising ‘Jai Bheem’ flags.

However, soon after the clip went viral, several people who were part of the parade said that this incident was not planned or given attention by the majority present at the event. They also added that the slogan-raising group tried to capture the movement for their benefit.

Even, the organisers of the event, QAM, issued a press release in which they dissociated themselves from the incident. They also said that the group strongly condemns the abrupt radical slogans in support of Sharjeel and/or any other slogans against the integrity of India at the gathering.
