New Delhi: Popular singer Shantanu Mukherjee, also known as Shaan by his stage name, slammed trollers who criticised him for wishing “Eid Mubarak” dressed in Muslim Attire. On April 22, singer Shaan shared a picture quoting Eid wishes, on Instagram wearing a skull cap as he wrote "Eid Mubarak to You and Your Family."

In the meantime, his beautiful gesture triggered some right-wingers who flocked social media platforms trolling him for wishing Eid Mubarak.They criticized him for dressing up in Muslim attire despite being a Hindu.

“I have to unfollow u”, a netizen said. 

“Ye muslim kab se ban gya, i thought he is Bengali”, another commented. (When did he become Muslim, i thought he is Bengali)

However, Shaan reacted to the hate and criticism received by trollers. In a video posted by Shaan soon after posting the ‘Eid Mubarak’ post, he said, he was disappointed by the mindset of trollers and did not expect this.

In the video, Shaan said he initially thought about ignoring the hateful comments but they continued, which led him to create the video to address and clarify the situation.

He clarified that the photo was captured three years ago from his music video titled Karam Karde.

“Usme ye Look Tha.. toh socha it goes with the occasion.. bas itni si baat” (It had this look, so I thought it goes well with the occasion), he wrote.

He further appealed to people to change their mindset and respect all religions. He also claimed that despite being a Hindu and proud Bhramin he was always taught to respect and celebrate all festivals.

"Since childhood, I was taught to celebrate all festivals and respect every religion. This is what I believe in and this is what every Indian should believe in too. Baaki aapki soch aapko Mubarak,"the singer said.

He referred to India as the “Mother of Democracy” and requested people to not have polarized thoughts as it only causes damage.

In the meantime, the video Shaan posted went viral on social media platforms and received lots of support and love from people. Netizens reshared the video on Twitter and praised him.

“Singer Shaan posted this pic on Eid. Right wingers started trolling him. He replied to those cheap trolls through  video post.

Shaan, full respect to you !”, a user wrote on Twitter.

“Kudos @singer_shaan for standing your ground…”, neitizen tweeted.

New Delhi: Air Vice Chief Marshal, Hilal Ahmad, a Kashmiri Muslim from Anantnag according to a Mathrubhumi report has played a very important role in the Operation Sindhoor conducted by Indian Armed Forces launching precision military strikes against terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on Wednesday.

Air Commodore Hilal Ahmad was India’s Air Attaché to France. Ahmad became India's first pilot to see off the batch of Rafale jets from France to India on July 27, 2020. Reports also suggest that he played a crucial part in early delivery of the Rafales, and has closely supervised the delivery schedule, weaponization, and customization of the Rafale jets to align with Indian operational needs.

A veteran officer with over 3,000 hours of accident-free flying, Ahmad has flown frontline combat aircraft like the Mirage 2000 and MiG-21. He gained widespread recognition as India’s first pilot to fly the Rafale jet and was instrumental in the aircraft's early induction into the Indian Air Force.

Although Ahmed is best known for his role in the Rafale program, his impact goes far beyond aircraft development. Through his leadership, he has played a crucial role in modernizing the Indian Air Force, enhancing its readiness to meet present-day challenges.

Mathrubhumi also reported that even though his name hasn’t been directly tied to the on-ground execution of Operation Sindoor, defense analysts suggest that officers of Ahmad’s calibre, with in-depth knowledge of aerial warfare and strategic defense systems, are integral to operations of such scale and precision.
