The horrific attack on the CRPF convoy in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir has left the nation in the state of despair. Over 40 CRPF jawans were killed in this attack and several of them were injured. 48 countries have condemned this deadly attack caused by a Pakistan-based terrorist group. Bollywood celebs too have been posting tweets about this attack, condemning it fiercely. Amid this, actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has shared a controversial tweet on Muslims and she is getting slammed for the same.

She tweeted, "#muslims in India enjoy greatest freedom & priveleges. .& yet they complain. So y dont u go to Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan i ask? Why does no Islamic country accept islamic refugees? and y r muslims always fleeing their native countries only to impose their religion on another."

The Twitterati Was All Agitated After Her Tweet
Mam generalising is wrong. There are muslims that are more patriotic than you and me. Army, Navy, CRPF and BSF doesn’t distinguish on the basis of religion. Talk about religion once and you will be out of the armed forces. My cousin proudly serve IAF

One More Amongst Many
Please don’t reduce the sentiment to such low. It is not about muslims. Why to target a nationality/religion for that. It is about being a human and how they have been brainwashed. I have so many muslim friends and I am indeed proud to have them. And they don’t complain.
