Salman Khan faced backlash on social media after he posted a tweet on X about India-Pakistan ceasefire. Here’s why.
Superstar Salman Khan came under fire on social media after he posted a tweet on X (formerly Twitter) expressing relief over the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. His now-deleted tweet, which read “Thank God for the ceasefire…”, came shortly after both nations agreed to halt hostilities following India’s launch of Operation Sindoor, a military response to the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 that claimed several lives.
Salman Khan’s message sparked immediate backlash, with many users slamming him for commenting on the ceasefire while remaining silent on the terror attack, the Indian Army’s response and the broader national sentiment in the days that followed the Pahalgam terrorist attack. Several users accused the actor of being quick to advocate peace while seemingly ignoring the sacrifices and bravery of Indian soldiers and the victims of terror.
Comments flooded in, suggesting that Khan appeared to be more concerned with Pakistan’s welfare than acknowledging India’s pain. The uproar intensified to the point that the actor eventually deleted the tweet, though screenshots continued to go viral online. As of now, Salman Khan has not issued any official clarification on the matter, nor has he posted a fresh tweet.
“Salman Khan deleted his tweet, made no posts about Pahalgam, while Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan also stayed silent during the terrorist attack on India,” read one tweet. Another read, “India should boycott Salman Khan.”
India-Pakistan Ceasefire
:
After several days of artillery, drone and missile strikes, India and Pakistan have formally agreed to a ceasefire, capping a tumultuous week during which India targeted terror camps in Pakistan through ‘Operation Sindoor’ and Pakistan launched brazen attacks on civilians. India and Pakistan agreed on a ceasefire after the former unleashed decisive final strikes on Pakistani airbases that dealt a heavy blow to Pakistan’s Air Force assets. Both sides came to an agreement after Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) reached out to his Indian counterpart, sources told News18.
