George Floyd Death: After Omar Abdullah, Netizens Too BASH Priyanka Chopra Jonas-Kareena Kapoor Khan For Posting #BlackLivesMatter

It was just recently when Indian celebrities including Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tiger Shroff, Disha Patani and more expressed their rage over the death of African American man George Floyd who was pinned down by a white police office until irresponsive. With almost the whole of the USA and many others worldwide have been expressing their rage after a viral video of George Floyd’s death circulated on social media, National Conference leader and vice-president Omar Abdullah took a sly dig at Indian celebrities for tweeting about American lives.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Omar Abdullah tweeted, “So much respect for all the celebrities tweeting #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER. It takes courage to bring your cowardice to the fore when you tweet for American lives but can’t tweet for Indian lives.” In his tweet, Abdullah called out Indian celebrities for expressing their concerns about American lives before Indian lives. The NC leader mentioned that he has much respect for all the celebrities tweeting about #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER but questioned in return on why they can’t tweet for Indian lives.

Check out the netizens' reactions below:

I agree, so many Kashmiri Pandits were brutally murdered, and their families await justice, but no concrete action has been taken so far. All lives matter, but it seems some lives matter more to some for their family politics.

Human live matter ,please correct

Paradoxically the situation is totally reverse. Barring few Bollywood babydolls like Kareena Kapoor or some others, no one is glaringly giving condolence right now, apparently because of the fear that their hypocrisy will backfire them.

So true. Hope you condemned the brutal lynching of those 2 Sadhus of #Palghar.

So much respect for all the celebrities tweeting #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER. It takes courage to bring your cowardice to the fore when you tweet for American lives but can’t tweet for #kashmiri lives.

Yes Black Lives Matter as much any other life matters

But those who didn't say a word when people killed in Delhi Riots are now showing their hypocracy by saying that#BlackLivesMatter

First, speak for Justice at home.
