The tweet prompted responses from right-wing social media troll accounts, criticizing the singer for his statement. One popular right-wing user, known as 'The Skin Doctor,' who is also followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, even replied with flight details and suggested routes for Ali to reach Gaza.
There is an Egypt Air flight tommorow 11.20 am from Delhi to Cairo.

From Cairo there are buses and taxis that take 5-6 hours and go directly to the Rafah crossing border. At Rafah crossing, Egyptian police will enquire about the purpose of visit, check your possessions and…
Several users attacked Lucky Ali for his views, with some expressing relief that they had chosen other artists over him. Others questioned whether he expected financial contributions for his trip and encouraged him to proceed.

Frankly, we also want you all to go there. Please do the honors ASAP!

Trump repeats claim he stopped potential nuclear war between India and Pakistan
New York/Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump has repeated his claim of resolving the India-Pakistan conflict and asserted that Islamabad's leadership credited him for saving millions of lives.
"We stopped a potential nuclear war between Pakistan and India. And the head of Pakistan, a highly respected General, he's a Field Marshal and also the Prime Minister of Pakistan, said President Trump saved 10 million lives, maybe more...,” Trump said Monday.
He made these remarks at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, flanked by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Navy Secretary John Phelan, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“You know, eight planes were shot down. That war was starting to rage, and he actually said the other day that President Trump saved 10 million lives, maybe more. So we solved all these wars. The only one I haven't solved yet is Russia, Ukraine,” he said.

Since May 10, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington, he has repeated his claim over 60 times that he “helped settle” the tensions between the two neighbours.
New Delhi has consistently denied any third-party intervention.
India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians.
India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.
