It all began when Northern Army Commander Lt. General Upendra Dwivedi said that if given orders by the government of India, the Indian Army is capable of taking back Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Following this, Richa Chadha quoted the news on Twitter and wrote, “Galwan says hi”, as an indirect reference to the disputed Galwan territory between India and China. Instantly, Richa got trapped in a controversy and was trolled for her tweet on various social media platforms by netizens and the political class.
Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar slammed Richa for allegedly insulting the Indian Army through her “Galwan Tweet”. He shared the image of her tweet and wrote, “Hurts to see this. Nothing ever should make us ungrateful towards our armedforces. Woh hain toh aaj hum hain..” Akshay was praised by a lot of Twitter users for taking a stand against this harsh tweet and giving respect to the Indian Army.
Later on, Richa Chadha deleted the controversial tweet after realizing the impact it has caused. She even offered an apology for hurting the sentiments of the Indian Army and the people of India.
In a Twitter statement, she said, “Even though it can never be my intention in the least, if the 3 words which have been dragged into a controversy have offended or hurt anyone, I apologize and also say that it would sadden me if even unintentionally my words have triggered this feeling in my brothers in the Fauj, of which my own Nanaji has been an illustrious part. As a Lt. Col, he took a bullet in the leg in the Indo-China war, in 1960s. It’s in my blood.”
“A whole family is affected when their son is martyred or even injured while saving the nation which is made up of people like us and I personally know how it feels. It is an emotive issue for me” she added.
