Akshay Kumar reply Richa Chadha galwan

Richa Chadha, a critically regarded performer, sparked a heated debate when she attempted to ridicule a senior Army official. She is being accused of denigrating the Army and the soldiers who lost their lives in 2020 fighting the Chinese troops by hundreds of Twitter users.

It all began when Lt. Gen. Upendra Dwivedi, commander of the Northern Army, declared earlier this week that the Indian Army will obey any directives issued by the Central government. He was responding to a query about Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s suggestion that India will, if necessary, take control of some of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

On October 27, Singh had said the thing. In his words, Pakistan was committing crimes against humanity upon people in PoK and had betrayed India in the Kashmir dispute. He further asserted that India should claim back Gilgit and Baltistan, two regions in PoK.

However, Richa Chadha took this into a different dimension

Quoting Lt. Gen. Upendra Dwivedi’s video on Twitter, she wrote,

“Galwan says hi…”

She was apparently making reference to the opposition’s claim that China had invaded parts of Indian territory in the Galwan valley in eastern Ladakh. It was seen as a disrespect to the slain servicemen by many Twitter users.

Soon after this, she was heavily criticized for “mocking” the Indian Army and downplaying the sacrifice made by the jawans during the 2020 India-China conflict in Galwan. After that, she made a formal apology and deleted her tweet.

While it is true that Akshay Kumar currently holds Canadian citizenship, with this strong message to Richa, he again proves that he is still Indian by heart. Many people criticized him and his followers by saying bringing up his citizenship issue, however, we cannot deny that India currently needs his words, at a time when many other celebrities chose to maintain silence.
