Ranveer Allahbadia Criticised after ‘Pak Brothers & Sisters’ Post; Deletes Later
In a recent controversy, popular YouTuber and podcast host Ranveer Allahbadia has sparked outrage on social media after posting an apology on Instagram addressed to “Pakistani brothers and sisters”. The post, which has since been deleted, stated that Ranveer apologised if any Pakistani felt that Indians were spreading hate. However, this gesture of goodwill was met with widespread criticism and anger from many Indians, who accused Ranveer of being insensitive and unpatriotic.
The controversy comes on the heels of a previous controversy surrounding Ranveer’s podcast, “The Ranveer Show”, which was criticized for its perceived anti-India content. In the latest post, Ranveer seemed to be attempting to make amends by apologizing to the Pakistani community, but his words fell flat with many Indians who felt that it was an insult to the Armed Forces of India.
The post in question read: “To all my Pakistani brothers and sisters, I want to apologize if any of my words or actions have made you feel that Indians are spreading hate. I understand that the current situation between our countries is tense, but I truly believe that love and peace are the only way forward.” The post was met with a barrage of criticism on social media, with many calling for a boycott of Ranveer’s podcast.
One Twitter user wrote: “Ranveer Allahbadia apologizing to Pakistani brothers and sisters is a slap on the face of Indian armed forces who are fighting for our country’s integrity. He should be ashamed of himself.” Another user added: “This guy is a complete traitor. He’s apologizing to the wrong side. Pakistan is a terrorist nation and we should be standing united against them, not apologizing to them.”
Other critics accused Ranveer of being a hypocrite, pointing out that he had previously spoken out against Pakistan and its alleged support for terrorism. “Ranveer Allahbadia is a phony,” wrote one user. “He only speaks up against Pakistan when it’s trending, but when it comes to apologizing, he’s quick to do so. He’s a joke.”
Ranveer’s decision to delete the post has only added fuel to the fire, with many accusing him of cowardice and trying to save face. “Ranveer Allahbadia deleted his post after realizing it was a huge mistake,” wrote one user. “He’s a spineless coward who can’t even take responsibility for his actions.”
The controversy has also sparked a wider debate about the role of social media influencers in shaping public opinion and promoting patriotism. Some have argued that influencers like Ranveer have a responsibility to be mindful of their words and actions, and to promote a positive and patriotic message.
As the debate continues to rage on social media, it remains to be seen whether Ranveer will face any consequences for his actions. In the meantime, fans of his podcast are left wondering if they can continue to support someone who seems to be so deeply out of touch with the values of the Indian nation.
In conclusion, Ranveer Allahbadia’s decision to apologize to Pakistani brothers and sisters has sparked a major controversy, with many Indians calling for a boycott of his podcast. As the debate continues to rage on social media, it’s clear that the issue of patriotism and national pride is a complex and sensitive one that requires careful consideration and sensitivity.
