  • The reel was uploaded less than two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, drawing sharp criticism from opposition leaders.
  • Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi and Congress leader Supriya Shrinate accused Raina of insensitivity and misusing security personnel for political image-building.
  • The Congress party questioned BJP leadership's approval of the reel, calling it 'shameful' and tone-deaf during a period of national mourning.
  • Raina has not issued any further statement or response to the backlash beyond the original post.
