Pro-Palestine Influencers Fired After Controversial Video

The video also claimed that India's defense ties with Israel support what's happening in Gaza.
Many people online were upset by the video, saying it was dangerous and could lead to violence.
Some even compared Khanna to a controversial activist.
The company they worked for, Tickle Right, fired them after the video went viral and caused a lot of backlash.
