After declining to comment on the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan in the wake of the Pahalgam incident, Pakistani TikTok singer Jannat Mirza has come under fire on social media.
Popular internet site Murtaza Views approached Mirza during a public appearance at an event to inquire about her response to the escalating cultural and diplomatic backlash. Rather than responding, the influencer walked away from the camera without saying anything and made a motion with her fingers across her lips that she would not comment.
Both the incident and the reaction went viral. On Pakistani social media, her act has provoked uproar, with many accusing her of putting her Indian fan base and online presence ahead of adopting a strong position.
