Hrithik Roshan took to Twitter on Thursday to condemn the militant attack in Manipur that killed 18 soldiers. The actor, however, landed himself in a soup with what appears to be a lapse of judgement.

Condemning the use of the word Manipur ‘tribals’ instead of terrorists in Hrithik’s tweet, Twitterati went crazy.

@iHrithik Not by Manipuri tribals. But by militant group. Don’t blame innocent Manipuris.

.@iHrithik If u would have used Terrorist instead of writing #Manipur tribals it would have been better ..

In a bid to correct his misjudgement, the actor later tweeted:
Correction- unidentified Manipur tribal militant groups .. To be more precise.
