Updated : September 24, 2016 02:50 PM IST
Recently. in the wake of Uri attacks, political parties such as MNS have been heaping pressure on Pakistani artistes working in India to leave the country. While the Mumbai police said that it will provide protection to all foreign nationals in the country on a legal visa, the aforementioned presure is rising.
From major news channels hosting heated debates about the issue to social media getting flooded with variety of opinions, the issue is getting traction, the issue is snow-baling each minute.
No, we are not saying for a moment that cross-border terrorism is an issue that can be taken lightly. But what we worry is that an issue as complex can be seen from a lot of angles.
And, that is exactly how social media is looking right now. From news personalities to Bollywood members to common people, everybody is voicing their opinions on the issue.

Go ahead, ban Pakistani stars. Bollywood films earn much more in Pak markets & India will be net losers in inevitable tit-for-tat cussedness
