Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan came under sharp criticism from the Pakistan Army after he shared the trailer of his new Netflix series ‘Bard of Blood’ on Twitter.
In a tweet, Pakistan Army Major General Asif Ghafoor slammed Khan for producing the series and asked him “to promote peace and humanity by speaking against atrocities in Kashmir.”
Stay in bollywood syndrome @iamsrk . For reality see RAW Spy Kulbhushan Jadev, Wing Comd Abhinandan & state of 27 Feb 2019.
You could rather promote peace & humanity by speaking against atrocities in IOJ&K and against Hindituva of Nazism obsessed RSS. https://t.co/0FWqoRQsO6— Asif Ghafoor (@peaceforchange) August 23, 2019
Ghafoor is the chief spokesperson for Pakistan’s armed forces.
Ghafoor’s attack on Khan comes at a time when relations between India and Pakistan have soured after India revoked Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and bifurcated the state into two Union Territories.
