Divya Delhi: Salman Khan, a popular Bollywood actor, was criticized for tweeting about the India-Pakistan truce. The deleted message stated, “Thank God for the ceasefire…”. After India began Operation Sindoor in response to the 22 April Pahalgam terror assault, this happened. The Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor to attack militant sites in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Pakistan after the Pahalgam incident killed many. Salman Khan's silence on "Operation Sindoor" disappointed netizens, as several Bollywood stars had praised the Indian Army. Many users criticized Salman for commenting on the ceasefire but not the Pahalgam incident or the dead soldiers. Users said the actor seemed more focused on peace talks than the army's sacrifice.
