'All Eyes of Reasi'; is the tagline the majority of people of India want to use on social media to garner global attention over the cowardly terror attack that killed at least 9 Hindu pilgrims and injured over 20 people on their way to Katra. Just like 'All Eyes On Rafah' that was shared by millions of people all around the world, Indians are sharing All Eyes of Reasi, however, Instagram has come under the scanner of this. For those who are unaware, a bus carrying pilgrims from Uttar Pradesh and Delhi plunged into a deep gorge after an ambush by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district on Sunday evening, in which nine people including three women were killed and 33 injured. Following the attack, a Pakistan-based terror outfit LeT's front TRF claimed responsibility for the Reasi attack. Now, the question arises why #UninstallInstagram is trending over Reasi terror attack?
Why #UninstallInstagram is trending over the Reasi Terror Attack?
At first, netizens slammed the Bollywood industry over their silence on the Raesi Terror Attack but endorsed All Eyes On Rafah on Instagram. Thereafter, a few Bollywood actors and singers took to Instagram and tried to condemn the Raesi terror attacks. Notably, when rapper Raftaar tried the same tag #AllEyesOnRaesi then Instagram gave a notification that the particular tag is hidden. Enraged by it, Raftaar questioned Instagram over its selective freedom of speech.
This put Instagram under the scanner and thousands of Indians started to share their video in which they were seen uninstalling Instagram from their phone under #UninstallInstagram.
