Online petition calls for Priyanka Chopra to be removed from Goodwill Ambassador position

Priyanka Chopra's role as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador may be coming to an end if the authors of an online petition have their way.

On February 26, Nick Jonas' wife posted on Twitter, "Jai Hind #IndianArmedForces," which translated to "Long live India," on the day that a Pakistani militant training camp was bombed by Indian fighter jets. In retaliation, Pakistan shot down an Indian plane and captured its pilot.

The petition, which was started in Pakistan, reads, "War between two nuclear powers can only lead to destruction & death. As goodwill ambassador of UNICEF, Priyanka Chopra was supposed to stay neutral & peaceful but her tweet in favour of Indian arm forces after they invaded Pakistan airspace shows otherwise. She doesn't deserve this title anymore." It has almost 3000 signatures.
At the time of her appointment, Chopra expressed her desire to advocate for children.
