Swara Bhaskar – Netizens claim ‘leave India’ as Swara Bhaskar comes under scrutiny over her Palestine tweet.
Actress’s Gaza tweet drew social media condemnation.
Once again, Bollywood actress Swara Bhaskar has caused a heated internet dispute for her advocacy of Palestine. Celebrated for sharing potent political views, Swara’s most recent tweet exhorting Mumbai residents to attend a Palestine demonstration on June 18 has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.
The cause of #Palestine and justice for Palestinians isn’t an Islamic cause.. at least it shouldn’t solely be that.. it is first & foremost an anti imperialist, anti colonial & anti apartheid cause.. & that’s why it should concern us all, even non-Muslims.#FreePalestine #AlAqsa

Along with the hashtag she wrote, “Mumbai. . . show up for Palestine on 18th June. ” #StopGenocideInPalestine. Some lauded her stance, but many others accused her of selectively expressing her anger and neglecting local events like the Pahalgam terrorist assault.
