Pakistan's Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari sent a letter to UNICEF, seeking removal of actress Priyanka Chopra as its Goodwill Ambassador.
“Ms Chopra has publicly endorsed Indian government position on Kashmir and also supported the nuclear threat issued to Pakistan by the Indian Defence Minister. All this goes completely against the principles of peace and goodwill that Ms. Chopra is supposed to uphold as an UN Goodwill Ambassador for Peace,” Mazari wrote in the letter which she made public on Twitter on Wednesday.

A few days after the abrogation of Article 370, Priyanka made news when she got called a 'hypocrite' by a Pakistani woman at the BeautyCon Event in Los Angeles. On February 26, the day after the Indian Air Force conducted a series of strikes across the Line of Control (LoC), Priyanka Chopra had tweeted in support of the move, saying “Jai Hind” and hashtagging #IndianArmedForces.
Priyanka Chopra was made a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in December, 2016.
