Superman, Wonder Woman in 'disputed Kashmir' draws backlash on social media

New Delhi, Oct 21: Ahead of the release of DC’s latest animated film 'Injustice', a video is doing the rounds online, appearing to show Superman and Wonder Woman 'solving' the Kashmir 'dispute'. The clip shows Superman and Wonder Woman destroying all military equipment in Kashmir and declaring it as an "arms free zone".

 

 

While narrating about how Superman and Wonder woman ended conflicts in various regions around the world, the video says, “In disputed Kashmir, Superman and Wonder Woman destroyed every piece of military equipment, declaring it an arm free zone.”

 

 

It's not clear if it's officially produced by DC, the comics home of Superman, whose official YouTube channel does not host the video. But the mention of Kashmir as 'disputed' has riled many social media users in India. On the other hand, India firmly maintains that Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is an inseparable part of India.

 

 

There are media reports saying that the two heroes are destroying Indian military infrastructure. The voiceover in the clip can however be heard as saying that Superman and Wonder Woman destroy 'every piece of military equipment 'declaring 'an arms-free zone'. There is no apparent mention of India or Pakistan but Kashmir can be heard as being regarded a 'disputed' territory.

 

 

However, the viewers are not happy. "Why are they so specific about Kashmir? First they refer to an imaginary place like m'gota, but the next moment they mention Kashmir. Its better to keep quiet about complex geopolitical affairs that they don't know anything about..." says a Twitter user.
