Also, there are no details available about what Dutt and Musharraf discussed during their meeting.
To note, Musharraf left for the UAE in 2016 for medical treatment and has since not returned to Pakistan where he faces multiple high-profile cases.
Meanwhile, many netizens have criticized Dutt—with some calling him "shameless"—for meeting Musharraf, who was Pakistan's army chief during the 1999 Kargil War with India.

Meanwhile, another user wondered if the Indian security agencies knew "what the whole meeting was about" and demanded Dutt be removed as the brand ambassador of Arunachal Pradesh.
