This comes as many celebrities have been posting #AllEyesOnRafah to draw attention to the situation in Rafah, where Israeli attacks have caused widespread concern and condemnation globally. Yadav's post appears to be a sarcastic jab at these celebrities, suggesting they should also focus on issues closer to home, like the ongoing conflict in PoK.

The post has sparked mixed reactions online. Some people are praising Yadav for highlighting what they see as a neglected issue, while others are calling it a publicity stunt designed to gain attention.

One of the X users wrote, "Elvish bhai Instagram story He also knows that if I do this, I will face difficulty in getting work in the industry, but for him, the country is most important. Proud of you #ElvishYadav."

Another user said, "He didn¡¯t even hesitate !!"

One person even said, "Real Indian Talk About Real Indian Issues. #ElvishYadav."

Others for whom Elvish Yadav's post was disappointing wrote things like, "Why does Elvish Yadav ignore Manipur and Prajwal Revanna, focusing only on Pakistan?", "Difference Between Munawar Faruqui and Elvish Yadav!!!" and, "#ElvishYadav is mocking the killing of innocent lives in Rafah and behaving like a cheap RW troll. This uneducated moron doesn¡¯t even know that an ex Indian Army officer Retd. Colonel Vaibhav Anil kale also lost his life in this airstrike by Israel."

Why does Elvish Yadav ignore Manipur and Prajwal Revanna, focusing only on Pakistan? Is it because Manipur has a BJP government and Prajwal is a BJP leader? It seems he only looks out for his own benefit. #ElvishYadav #PrajwalRevanna

The controversy adds to the ongoing debate about the role of influencers and celebrities in political and humanitarian campaigns.

Meanwhile, Ritika Sajdeh, the wife of Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma, is also facing backlash for her support of the #AllEyesOnRafah campaign. She has been trolled on social media, with critics questioning her priorities and involvement in the campaign. Critics are questioning Ritika's priorities, asking, "Did she ever talk about Kashmiri Pandits? No."

Understanding Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK)

Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) is a region administered by Pakistan but claimed by India as part of Jammu and Kashmir. PoK is divided into Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit-Baltistan.

The Kashmir conflict began in 1947 after the partition of British India. Both India and Pakistan claim the entire region. The first Indo-Pak war (1947¨C1948) led to a UN-brokered ceasefire, establishing the Line of Control (LoC) and dividing the region. Subsequent conflicts, notably in 1965 and 1999, have reinforced this division.

PoK's status is a major issue in India-Pakistan relations. India considers all of Jammu and Kashmir, including PoK, as its territory, while Pakistan administers PoK. The region has faced various human rights concerns, including allegations of political repression and lack of fundamental freedoms.
