'They Genuinely Feel Anti-India': Vivek Agnihotri On Richa Chadha's 'Galwan Says Hi' Tweet
Bollywood actress Richa Chadha who is out and about with her controversial views on social media has done it the worst the way this time. Richa mocked the martyrs of the Galwan clash and that had made the entire country upset. Amidst all backlash, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has also reacted to her views and called her ¡®Anti-India¡¯.
In a now-deleted tweet, Richa, on 23rd November, was accused of insulting Commander Lt General Upendra Dwivedi's statement about the Army¡¯s plan to take back PoK. Soon after the backlash, Richa removed her tweet and issued a public apology for the same. But the damage was done and the country was hurt.
The Kashmir Files Director Vivek Agnihotri has now reacted to her tweet and expressed that Richa genuinely feels anti-India.
Vivek wrote on Twitter, ¡°I am not surprised at all with this behaviour. They genuinely feel anti-India. Dil ki baat jubaan pe aa hi jaati hai. And then they ask why people want to #BoycottBollywood #Shame.¡± Soon after Richa blew the controversy, netizens called out her upcoming film and #BoycottFukrey3 started trending on Twitter. She¡¯ll further be seen in Abhi To Party Shuru Hui Hai.
Actor Akshay Kumar also reacted to Richa¡¯s tweet and wrote on Twitter, "Hurts to see this. Nothing ever should make us ungrateful towards our armed forces. Woh hain toh aaj hum hain." Furthermore, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit has assured to file a police complaint against her alongside BJP¡¯s Ram Kadam condemning her act.
Lt. Gen Sanjay Kulkarni (Retd.) lately also reacted to her views and said ¡°she probably does not know what Galwan is.¡±
Refusing to accept the apology, the former army man told India Today: ¡°I thought the statement was intentional and not for any other reason because the subsequent statement where she has apologized to say that she withdrew her statement is indicative that now she has said that her grandfather had been a casualty of the 1962 war, her maternal uncle was a paratrooper. What great people they have been.¡±
¡°I am sure she hasn¡¯t imbibed anything from them and she has also brought shame to her nearest family. The statement is deplorable. Highly deplorable, condemnable and was totally avoidable. She didn¡¯t have to comment on a domain she is not familiar with and should have left matters to military professionals,¡± he added.
Defending the Commander¡¯s statement, Lt. Gen Sanjay Kulkarni (Retd.) said, ¡°The Northern Army Commander has only expressed his sentiment that he can take Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) back if required and if he is given orders to. And that should there be a ceasefire violation, there will be retaliation. He has said nothing else. I don¡¯t think anybody should have commented or been sarcastic.¡±
