New Delhi: Actor and Congress leader Nagma is at the receiving end of a Twitter storm with people saying #NagmaStandsWithPakistan. The Twitter trend went viral Thursday and has got more than 10,000 tweets with many people accusing Nagma of being anti-India and siding with Pakistan.

Late Wednesday, Nagma tweeted, “I can’t believe the language what the BJP Spokesperson is using on @aajtak for a Pakistani person Tariq Peerzada and @AnjanaOmModiAT is allowing him and also continuously speaking over the female journalists from Pak why invite them if you are hell bent on insulting them.”

The BJP spokesperson in question was Sambit Patra, who told Pakistani news analyst Tariq Peerzada to “shut up” and said there were pictures of him “begging” on Twitter. He even said that children would get scared seeing him on Skype.

Pakistani woman journalist Mona Alam was also appearing on the television news debate on AajTak. Patra went on to call her “Hafiz Saeed’s spokesperson”.

Anchored by journalist Anjana Om Kashyap, the debate was titled ‘Duniya corona se passth, Pak aatank se mast (While the world battles coronavirus, Pakistan indulges in terrorism)’, following the Handwara attack in which four Army personnel, including the commanding officer of the Rashtriya Rifles’ 21 Battalion, and a sub-inspector of police were killed, and the subsequent killing of Hizbul commander Riyaz Naikoo.

Calling out journalists

In the past and recently as well, actor-turned-politician Nagma has taken to the micro-blogging site to call out journalists for allegedly spreading hatred and pushing their agenda.

She said Times Now’s group editor-politics Navika Kumar’s debates are hollow and only allow BJP’s point of view on debates about Kashmir.

She also tweeted a video of doctors in Mathura saying they will only treat Hindus and not Muslims and said this was because of “Godi Media” and the BJP’s agenda of spreading hatred. She once even demanded an FIR against Arnab Goswami.

  1. Well spoken like a true Congress Secular. Side with Pakistan and support it to appease Minority Votes. keep it up Nagma.

  2. All congress leaders are stupid they are supporting openly Pakistan without seeing the fact. Trust me “Congress party” you won’t get elected again in India… we Indians are watching you …how you dividing Indian people.
    actual Indians will never support you ….. Mark my word….

  3. Pakistan supports terrorism and should be taught a good lesson by India.
    They are Virus and one of the worst nation in the world.

  4. She’s only invoking the tradition of good manners. If politeness is no longer an Indian tradition then of course she’s wrong

  5. Tariq Pirzada us well known Pak army mole in the Pak media, comes from Karachi. Nagma should know he asked Kashmiri muslims to kill Hindus just a year back. If she knows his back ground yet comes out in support, She is out and out communal and anti indian, therefore the criticism is fully justified.

  6. For survival and progress in Congress, you must please Rahul. And supporting Pakistan, EVEN AT INDIA’S EXPENSE, is now the best way.

  7. Frankly Indian TV news channels should not be taken seriously at all. Aaj Tak, Republic Times Now have are channels which just want to push up the adrenaline of Hindutva fellows. Baaki saara bkawaas.

    • I personally know who you are. Why have you kept a Hindu name despite you being a Muslim ? It’s ok that you represent the traitor and cheater party congress, but what you are doing is rather more dangerous. Why are you commenting disguising under a Hindu name ? That clearly shows you are a coward. I understand you and nagma’s stand. It is in the blood of people like you and nagma to speak against India. No problem. We are noticing. We know to defeat Pakistan we need to…….

      • She is not against India… she is against a biased media… Pakistan is wrong and no one supports it but these news channel are horrible.. that fight like animals and if you do some research most of channel owners are affiliated to bjp. So where is free media..Tariq and mona are jokers and y are they being called on our news channel… Its perfectly alright to be patriotic but dont be blind for this sold media ..
