The recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which left several security personnel injured, has sparked strong reactions across India. However, a social media post by Bigg Boss 18 winner Karanveer Mehra has stirred controversy, with YouTuber Elvish Yadav accusing him of indirectly supporting Pakistan.
Elvish Yadav’s Sharp Dig at Karanveer Mehra
On Thursday night, Elvish Yadav took to X (formerly Twitter) to reshare Karanveer’s emotional video where he recited a poem by actor Ashutosh Rana. The poem, which emphasizes Hindu-Muslim unity, questions the division created by terrorism. However, Elvish sarcastically commented:
"Pakistan se vote aaye the kya bhai?" (Did you get votes from Pakistan, brother?)
This remark triggered a heated debate online, with some users supporting Karanveer’s message of peace while others accused him of being "soft on terrorism."
Netizens Divided: Support vs. Criticism
While Elvish’s comment gained traction among those who believe in a hardline stance against terrorism, many of Karanveer’s fans defended him, stating that his post was about humanity, not politics.
One fan wrote:
"Stop spreading hate. Understand the essence of what #KaranVeerMehra is highlighting—the difference between humanity and terrorism. Being an Indian, humanity should be your first religion."
Another user accused Elvish of being obsessed with Karanveer, saying:
"Who’s more obsessed with Karan? KVM Family or this questionable person?"
What Did Karanveer Mehra Say in His Video?
In his post, Karanveer recited a powerful poem by Ashutosh Rana that questions religious divisions. Some key lines include:
"Shiv ki ganga bhi paani hai, aabe zam zam bhi paani hai. Pandit bhi piye, Mulla bhi piye, toh paani ka majhab kya hoga?"
(The water of Shiva’s Ganga and Zamzam is the same. If both Pandits and Mullahs drink it, what religion does the water belong to?)
"Koi Hindu hai, koi Musalman, koi Sikh toh koi Issai. Bas humne insaan na hone ki hai kasam khayi."
(Some are Hindu, some Muslim, some Sikh, some Christian—but we have sworn not to remain human.)
The poem condemns terrorism and calls for unity, but critics argue that such messages can be misconstrued as downplaying the role of cross-border terrorism.
Conclusion: A Clash of Perspectives
The controversy highlights the polarized reactions to terrorism in India. While some see Karanveer’s post as a call for peace, others, like Elvish Yadav, interpret it as being insensitive to the sacrifices of security forces.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear—social media remains a battleground for differing ideologies, where even a poetic message can spark a political firestorm.
