Kashmir issue has always been trending since the day of Independence 1947. However, India’s recent step on abrogating Article 370, has broken the internet.
Many celebrities standing in support of Kashmir, however, Pakistani Vloggers are being criticized for not describing their words for the blackout in the city. An Indian celebrity Priyanka Chopra explained her patriotism to media, for which she received a backfiring message from a Pakistani star Mehwish Hayat.
I was honoured to be asked to do an opinion piece for CNN. Great opportunity to raise issues close to my heart and also give my take on the @priyankachopra issue and the role we as celebrities have to play.https://t.co/szOTEG34we

However, Irfan Junejo decides to remain silent on this topic and not to discuss in his Vlog; bashed by the public at the same moment. According to him he was bullied by his fans who sent him personal messages and tweeted him for being quiet on this issue, and that is trending no.1 in Pakistan
Irfan tweeted where he shared his opinion:
You may cancel me if you want to but I will NOT make a video about whatever is happening in Kashmir. NOT because I support the oppressors or I am afraid of losing Indian followers but because I also didn’t make a video when Quetta Hazaras were protesting with the dead bodies…

Irfan believes that his channel is not political nor he is a kind of an activist and have never featured issues related to it in his vlog. He also said it is sad and heart-wrenching to see what is happening in Kashmir.
MKBHD never made a video about Trump policies, UK YouTubers didn’t make videos on Brexit. If somebody is talking about this, good for them.
Ajeeb apne andar sab activist banay hue hain!
