In a world with no “NO” human rights, a great human being is being punished for killing an animal umpteen years ago under animal rights. Bash me all you want, but there’s something completely wrong about it.. mind you such human beings are our saving grace! #SalmanKhanVerdict

However, these supportive tweets for the Indian actor were not appreciated by the Pakistani twitter users who criticized the celebrities for not speaking out against the Indian cruelties that are taking place in Indian held Kashmir on their solidarity day.

Meanwhile, Pakistani sportsman and celebrity Shahid Afridi did not hesitate and raised his voice against Indian on their atrocities against Kashmiri Muslims.
We respect all. And this is an example as sportsman. But when it comes to human rights we expect the same for our innocent Kashmiris. pic.twitter.com/DT5aF1wX8P
