Enraged over controversial comments against Army personnel by social media influencer Ishita Pundir, complaints by several individuals, besides a Congress general secretary, have flooded the Sirmaur police, seeking action against her.Many have termed her remarks malicious. “The Army personnel are our pride and we all respect them,” commented Mamta Bhardwaj.In a Facebook video post, Ishita severely criticised Army personnel. She said, “Army men are not loyal to their girlfriends or their wives. They are definitely loyal to their nation, but they can never be loyal to their girlfriends or their wives. I’ve heard of many such cases and girls will agree with me, as 90 per cent of them are not loyal. I am not talking about all of them. Though I have not had any such experience, when they come on leave they have four or five girlfriends.”Her controversial remarks drew the ire of social media users. One of them, Manmohan Singh, said her malicious post had hurt the dignity and respect of Army personnel and he would file an FIR against her.Another person, Bhupinder Singh, in his complaint to the Dadahu police in the Renuka Ji Assembly segment, demanded the registration of a defamation case against Ishita for damaging the image of the Army. He termed her post mischievous.Sirmaur SP Nishchint Negi said, “Several complaints have been received by the police against Ishita Pundir’s social media post and it is being investigated. Appropriate action will be taken as per the law.”Rajgarh-based Sainik Welfare Association also wrote to the police. A complaint has also been filed by Yadupati Thakur, general secretary, Pradesh Congress Committee.All complaints have been clubbed by the police as it initiated the probe. Ishita has 3.5 million-plus followers on Facebook and 10.9 lakh followers on Instagram. In her vlogs, she displays various aspects of ‘pahadi’ life. She hails from Deva Manal village in the Nohradhar area of Sirmaur district.Facing backlash for her adverse comments, Ishita, later, tendered an apology and tried to downplay her post by stating that it was human to err. Regretting the post, she said one should accept one’s mistake.However, her apology has failed to pacify the anger of social media users who pressed for a befitting action against the influencer who, when enquired about, was unavailable at her native village for investigation.
