Trevor Noah apologises over India-Pakistan comments

US comedian Trevor Noah has apologised for making jokes about the rise of tensions between India and Pakistan over disputed Kashmir.

In an episode of The Daily Show, Noah said that a war between the two would be “the most entertaining”, adding that “it would also be the longest war of all time – another dance number!”

His comments prompted outrage on Twitter, as users called it offensive.

After a Twitter user accused him of mocking “war through a Bollywood stereotype”, Noah responded with an apology on Sunday.

 

In a following tweet, Noah added that he was amazed that his joke over the conflict “trended more than the actual conflict itself”.
