On Thursday, after India carried out airstrikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) as part of ‘Operation Sindoor’, some people started talking about peace and de-escalation. These included left-leaning groups, critics of Prime Minister Modi, and some who earlier mocked the government for not responding strongly to the Pahalgam terror attack, where Hindu pilgrims were killed by terrorists.
Now that the Indian government took action, the same people started asking for peace.
For example: Filmmaker Vinod Kapri, who earlier supported strong action against Pakistan, tweeted “Say No to War.” Folk singer Neha Singh Rathore was also seen giving mixed messages, according to critics. This has led to many accusing these individuals of double standards — first demanding action, and then calling for peace once action is taken.
“Peace is patriotism. War is destruction. Borders don’t bleed-people do. Stop the war. Deescalate NOW !!!” remarked Arfa Khanum Sherwani of ‘The Wire’ who had previously questioned Modi government’s inaction against Pakistan.
Shyam Meera Singh Talks About Peace, Criticizes India’s Defence Efforts. Shyam Meera Singh spoke about peace and criticized people who support India defending itself from Pakistan’s drone attacks on border states. Meanwhile, writer Raju Parulekar commented on the situation. He said, “People who don’t suffer in war are usually the ones who want it.”
The notorious X handle ‘The Cancer Doctor’ wrote, “Majority of those cheering for war have never watched a life slip away before their eyes. DE-ESCALATE before it’s too late.”
Popular propagandist Saba Naqvi tweeted, “War is a disaster for all concerned. The people who are afraid, the soldiers who lose their lives, the economy that suffers terribly. Wars are not fought on social media or TV studios. Jai Hind. Prayers for all the places under blackout today.”
She posted this message during the time when Pakistan was increasing its attacks, hoping that India would not respond strongly or take any serious action in return against the trouble-making country. “De-escalate at least now, please. Both of you. Stop this idiocy,” tweeted Karthik Krishnaswamy.
