Maniesh Paul’s New AD Faces Wrath Of The Netizens; Gets Mired In A Controversy For Allegedly Portraying Kashmiris In ‘Bad Light’

Mr @ManishPaul03 This is quite degrading. In fact this is quite opposite of Kashmiris. We are known for our hospitality all over the world. You are portraying us as thieves. This should be taken down... Kashmir has a 0% crime rate against tourists.

This ad is sick and portraying kashmiris as theives is hurtful and disrespectful for kashmiris. Kashmir is know for hospitality. This ad should be removed immediately.

What are you trying to convey through this against the backdrop of beauty of Kashmir. Kashmiris deserve respect not these kind of advertisements.

Mr Paul, u are good as an anchor, but u go to this level was never accepted. We have been living without this Dollar for decades, with zero crime rate against tourists. We r not thieves, but we r giving shelter to needy ones. Hope u get facts corrected

@ManishPaul03 @DollarBigboss take it down or othrwise dont come back to kashmir ever. Kashmir has been safest place for tourists. U r defaming kashmiris as thieves! Which is unacceptable to us. @OmarAbdullah @RJNASIROFFICIAL
