“She has crossed a line with her garbage lying attack on peaceful Hindus. Shame on her!” the group under the handle @HinduAmericans posted on Twitter.
What @PriyankaChopra did is a serious attack on Hindus, especially Hindu-Americans. I am totally outraged about this. I urge everyone to boycott #PriyankaChopra and her advertisers. She has crossed a line with her garbage lying attack on peaceful Hindus. Shame on her!

So according to the makers of @priyankachopra starrer #Quantico Hindu terrorists does blasts & blame it on Pakistanis … @INCIndia must be feeling relaxed as someone finally has taken their 'Hindu terrorism Card" seriously. Our stars really loves Hindustan.
