The hashtag soon became one of the top trends in India and Pakistan.

Away from the warmongering, glad to see some sanitu finally prevailing in the twitter. Important #SayNoToWar

Two nations have spilled enough blood to know the color is red but not blue or green. #saynotowar #india #pakistan
An Indian Twitter user stated that the powers in both the countries should play their part in restoring peace.
