Ranveer Allahbadia Holds Up Osamas Photo On Piers Morgan Show During India-Pakistan Debate; Internet Asks, Who Invited Him To Show?
During the discussion, Allahbadia was seen holding a photo of al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden and terrorist Hafiz Abdul Rauf, using it to illustrate his stance.
He described India's retaliatory actions as 'precision-oriented, moderated, and a retaliation,' adding that India has never been 'an aggressor in any of these situations.'
'We export vaccines, philosophy, engineers, and leaders to the world – which is why our economy is eleven times that of Pakistan's,' Allahbadia stated.
He also questioned the host, saying, 'Piers, my question is to you. You've seen the objective facts and figures. What do you feel about this situation?'
'The world only knows this person (Osama bin Laden)… India has a list of people like him,' he added.
"THIS is the narrative the world should know." Ranveer Allahbadia holds up a picture of Osama Bin Laden during Piers Morgan's debate on the ceasefire with Pakistan. Watch in full

Deleted Post Controversy
Allahbadia was questioned about a now-deleted social media post in which he addressed "Pakistani brothers and sisters."
The post read: 'Dear Pakistani Brothers & Sisters, I will get hate from many Indians for this, but it is important to be said. Just like many Indians, I don't have hate in my heart for you. Many of us want peace as well. Whenever we meet Pakistanis, you invariably welcome us with love. But…'
Responding to the question, Ranveer explained that he deleted the post because Pakistan had broken the ceasefire shortly after a peace agreement.
'I deleted it because Pakistan had just broken the ceasefire and gave us another reason to not trust the entire state once again. Even if you try to have a conversation with Pakistan, it responds with 'Where's the proof of the Pahalgam attack?'' he said.
How Did the Internet React?
Online reactions were mixed. While some praised Ranveer for articulating his viewpoint, others questioned his credibility and motives.
One user wrote critically, 'Paid program to repair all the damage he did.'
Another said, 'Piers, sorry bro… you got the clown for the interview.'
A third comment read, 'Who invited him to that show? What are his credentials for speaking on geopolitical issues? How much was paid for that seat at the table?'
A fourth person joked, 'Since when did Ranveer start representing India? Just kidding.'
A fifth commenter said: 'He deleted his tweet not because of the ceasefire but because of the backlash. He's always been friendly to Pakistanis but still got bashed by both sides.'
However, others came to his defense, appreciating his preparedness and articulate delivery during the panel.

Trump says he ‘heard' India is no longer going to buy oil from Russia, calls it ‘good step'
US President Donald Trump on Saturday said he has heard that India is no longer going to buy oil from Russia, which he hailed as a 'good step' but added that he wasn't sure about the development. 'Well, I understand India no longer is going to be buying oil from Russia. That's what I heard. I don't know if that's right or not, but that's a good step. We'll see what happens,' Trump told reporters Friday. Trump's comments come a day after the White House announced tariffs the US will impose on exports from about 70 nations. According to the executive order, India will face tariffs of 25 per cent, but it did not mention the 'penalty' that Trump had said India will have to pay because of its purchases of Russian military equipment and energy. Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal was asked at the weekly media briefing on Friday about the reports claiming that Indian oil companies have stopped buying oil from Russia in the past week. Jaiswal responded that as far as sourcing India's energy requirements is concerned, 'we take decisions based on the price at which oil is available in the international market and depending on the global situation at that time. As for the specifics of your particular question, I am not aware of it. I don't have details of these specifics.' Declaring that the US has a massive trade deficit with India, Trump had said that while 'India is our friend, we have, over the years, done relatively little business with them because their tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the world, and they have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary Trade Barriers of any country. 'Also, they have always bought a vast majority of their military equipment from Russia, and are Russia's largest buyer of energy, along with China, at a time when everyone wants Russia to stop the killing in Ukraine — All things not good!' Trump said. He said that India will therefore be paying a tariff of 25 per cent, plus a penalty for the above, starting on August 1. Trump had also mounted a sharp attack on India and Russia for their close ties and said that the two countries can take their 'dead economies down together.' 'I don't care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World. Likewise, Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let's keep it that way…' Trump had said in a post on Truth Social.
