Donald Trump is facing a lot of opposition to his travel ban on Muslim majority nations for 120 days. The 7 countries who form the core of the ban, namely Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Iran, Libya, Sudan and Somalia were picked up by Trump in an effort to show that he was keeping his campaign promise. The ban led to a spontaneous agitation by thousands who opposed it. Many approached the court, and a stay on the implementation of the ban is granted.
Priyanka Chopra, the Hollywood and TV star of "Quantico," joined other Hollywood Celebrities in opposing the ban.
She reportedly went on Linkedin and wrote: "As a global citizen this has deeply affected me. All of the banned countries are places where a lot of UNICEF work is going on where children are suffering the most ". By this Priyanka has joined other Hollywood celebrities like Meryl Streep and Robert de Nero and others in opposing the ban of Donald Trump.
Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra is listed by Forbes as the 8th highest paid TV star of 2016 and is also starring in a significant role in the Hollywood film "Baywatch." the film is slated for release a few weeks hence. Priyanka has joined the A-Grade Hollywood celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Ashton Kutcher, John Legend among others who have come out in the open against the travel ban on Muslims by Trump.
Priyanka is now a well-known name in America after becoming a top star in Bollywood.
The ban
Though the court stays the ban, Donald is unfazed and his made his intention clear to get the stay order vacated. He has even referred to the judge who delivered the verdict as a "so-called judge." Even the new appointee to the Supreme Court has not agreed with Donald's comments.
Priyanka Chopra has been joined by Dev Patel the other Indian star of "Lion," who has also voiced his opposition to the travel ban of Donald. The stay may or may not be overturned, but Donald has to justify why the ban was required. He is open to the charge that the ban was just a campaign promise and has no effect on American security.
Last word
No national from these seven countries has ever taken part in a terror attack on the USA. The fact is that the countries where Donald had substantial business interests are left out and these nations included where he has no business interests. Priyanka has done the right thing by voicing her opinion against the arbitrary travel ban.
