Salman Khan deletes post on ceasefire after backlash over not commenting on Operation Sindoor

After a ceasefire was announced by India and Pakistan, Salman Khan shared a post on X, only to delete it moments later, possibly because of the backlash being received for not reacting to Operation Sindoor.

Salman's tweet read, "Thank God for the ceasefire...." However, a section of the people questioned Salman's silence over Operation Sindoor. A tweet read, "No tweets about Operation Sindoor. Why?" A person wrote, "You didn't say anything about India's Operation Sindoor against Pakistan."

After he deleted his tweet, a fan supported him. "Just after his tweet, the news came that Pakistan violated the ceasefire. So he deleted that tweet. Now tell me what is Salman Khan's mistake here?" wrote the person. After agreeing to the ceasefire, Pakistan violated the it just hours later.

Salman, however, had commented on the terrorist attack in Pahalgam which left 26 people dead. "Kashmir, heaven on planet earth, turning into hell. Innocent people being targeted, my heart goes out to their families. Ek bhi innocent ko marna puri kainath ko marne ke barabar hai (Killing one innocent person is similar to killing the entire universe)."

After days of tensions where drone and missile attacks were exchanged across the border by India and Pakistan, the neighbouring nations agreed to a ceasefire on Saturday evening. Although, it was later reported that Pakistan violated the pact as drones were seen and blasts were heard in Srinagar.
