Ranveer Allahbadia Criticised After ‘Pak Brothers & Sisters’ Post; Deletes Later
YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia has again found himself in the midst of a controversy, this time for his now-deleted Instagram post addressed to “Pakistani brothers and sisters”. The post appeared to be an apology for any feelings of hate that may have been spread by Indians, sparking widespread criticism and outrage on social media.
The latest controversy surrounding Allahbadia, also known as Beb and Juice, comes just days after he faced backlash for his podcast ‘India’s Got Latent’, where he discussed his views on Indian society and culture. The podcast sparked a heated debate, with many accusing him of being insensitive and hurting the sentiments of various communities.
However, it seems that Allahbadia’s latest post has ruffled more feathers than his previous one. In the since-deleted post, he wrote an apology to Pakistani brothers and sisters, stating that he “didn’t want to spread any hate” and that he respected the country and its people. The post read: “To my Pakistani brothers and sisters, I want to say that I’m sorry if my previous post or any post of mine has made you feel like we Indians are spreading hate. I don’t want to spread any hate, and I respect your country and your people. I hope we can move forward and not spread hate.”
Despite Allahbadia’s attempt to diffuse the situation, many social media users were not pleased with his words. Several people called for a boycott of his podcast, with some accusing him of being insincere and lacking respect for the Indian Armed Forces. “You’re apologizing to Pakistan for what? For being a patriot? For respecting our Armed Forces? Shame on you,” wrote one user.
Others were critical of Allahbadia’s language, stating that his apology was insincere and that he was trying to play both sides. “You’re apologizing to Pakistan, but what about the sacrifices of our Armed Forces? What about the brave men and women who have given their lives for our country? You’re not respecting them, you’re just trying to save your own skin,” wrote another user.
The backlash against Allahbadia was swift and severe, with many calling for him to be held accountable for his words. “Ranveer Allahbadia, you’re not a patriot, you’re a traitor. You’re disrespecting our Armed Forces and our country, and you’re apologizing to Pakistan for what? For being a patriot? Shame on you,” wrote one user.
It’s not the first time that Allahbadia has faced criticism for his words. In the past, he has been accused of being insensitive and lacking cultural sensitivity. However, this latest controversy has sparked a heated debate about the role of social media influencers and the responsibility that comes with being a public figure.
As the debate rages on, it remains to be seen how Allahbadia will respond to the backlash. Will he continue to apologize and try to move on from the situation, or will he take a stand and defend his words? Only time will tell.
