Pakistani campaign looks to drag Indian celebs into Kashmir row

NEW DELHI (TIP): A Pakistani organization has launched a graphic online campaign on the Kashmir issue, attempting to drag Indian celebrities into the controversy by using their morphed images. The campaign comes at a time when senior figures of the Pakistan government continue to spark controversy with their comments on the tension in Kashmir over the killing of terrorist Burhan Wani.

The campaign claims to be aimed at raising attention to the use of pellet guns against violent protestors by security forces in Kashmir. It portrays a number of Indian celebrities with battered faces, and carries a message questioning their silence on the Kashmir issue.

Those dragged into the controversy by the campaign include cricketer Virat Kohli and film personalities Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Alia Bhatt, Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan. It also takes a shot at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, cricketer Virat Kohli and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg. The campaign, by the organization called Never Forget Pakistan, however made no bones of its intentions, demanding a plebiscite in Kashmir. (PTI)
