Mar 4, 2019 - A petition started in Pakistan has demanded the removal of Priyanka Chopra as the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassdor, following her tweet in support of India’s air strikes in Balakot, writes Hindustan Times. It states that despite holding a position of a Goodwill ambassador, the actress has ’cheered for war’ by choosing to take sides.



"War between two nuclear powers can only lead to destruction & death. As goodwill ambassador of UNICEF, Priyanka Chopra was supposed to stay neutral & peaceful but her tweet in favour of Indian arm forces after they invaded Pakistan airspace shows otherwise. She doesn’t deserve this title anymore," says the petition on Avaaz.org. Hindustan Times reports that it had already gathered 2200 signatures when it was initially filed.




Chopra was made the Goodwill Ambassador in 2016. The actress was also criticised on Twitter.

On 26 February, twelve days after the Pulwama attack, India had launched an anti-terror strike against a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror training camp in Pakistan’s Balakot, in which a large number of terrorists were killed by the Indian Air Force, according to Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale.
