'I Will File An FIR', Ashoke Pandit Disapproves Of Richa Chadha's Apology Over Galwan Insult
Actress Richa Chadha has rubbed the country the worst way. For a country like India which is known for the services and sacrifices of our army personnel, Richa with a three-word tweet just triggered people¡¯s emotions. Now after an immense outrage, the Fukrey actress has issued an apology but that seems unwelcome.
After facing harsh criticism over her insult to martyrs of Galwan clash, Richa issued a clarifying statement.
Richa in her Twitter apology wrote, ¡°Even though it can never be my intention in the least if the 3 words which are being dragged into a controversy have offended or hurt anyone, I apologise and also say that it would sadden me if even unintentionally my words have triggered this feeling in my brothers in the Fauj of which my own Nanaji has been an illustrious part."
She added that her grandfather, a Lieutenant Colonel, took a bullet in the leg in the Indo-China war in the 1960s. Her statement further read, "A whole family is affected when their son is martyred or even injured while saving the Nation which is made up of people like us and I personally know how it feels."

After her apology came, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit just couldn¡¯t get over the insult and felt to file an FIR soon.
Ashok told Republic, 'I am going to file a police complaint against her at Juhu police station. Her Mama and Nana must have done great services for the nation and I don't deny that but her tweet of hers was very well thought out in an attempt to mock our soldiers. She cannot get away by abusing our soldiers who protect her. More than that when you see the visuals of dead bodies of the soldiers coming to their homes, it is an insult to their kin who has sacrificed the breadwinner of the family.¡±
¡°It is an insult to the country at large. I will not even deny, this is more than an act of terrorism, an act against the nation. She has ridiculed and abused our security forces for no specific reason. The problem with these urban nationals and tukde-tukde gangs is that they are the sleepers' cells of the country. It is shameful and she should be arrested so no one repeats such action," he concluded.
In a now-deleted tweet, Richa insulted Commander Lt General Upendra Dwivedi's statement about the army¡¯s plan to take back PoK.
Richa wrote ¡®Galwan Say Hi¡¯ that triggered the internet. Her tweet was in reference to the Galwan clash that took place in June 2020 that had the country¡¯s 20 soldiers sacrifice their lives. BJP¡¯s MLA Ram Kadam also condemned Richa¡¯s tweet and said, "To come in the news and get publicity, will she (Richa Chadha) disrespect the soldiers of our country?¡±
¡°What has happened to her? Our soldiers are day and night guarding our country by leaving their families behind. They should be honoured with our heads bowed down. Sitting in the air condition, how will this actress who has this mindset will understand their dedication," the MLA concluded as reported by Republic.
