Popular television actress Hina Khan – who has become a household name with her exceptional performances in TV shows – has spoken about the Pahalgam terror attack. She took to her Instagram to share an emotional message and her words echoed the need to stand together as Indians in such difficult times.
Hona shared a heartfelt note by strongly condemning the inhuman act. She wrote, “We start fighting amongst ourselves, we’re doing exactly what they want – to divide us”. Hina whose hometown is Kashmir, captioned the post as, “Peace and Love. Jai Hind.” She started writing and said, “Condolences. Dark Day. Teary Eyes. Condemnation, Calls of Compassion. Nothing means anything if we fail to accept the reality. If we Don’t Accept what really Happened, especially as Muslims, everything else is just Talk. Simple talk.. A couple of tweets and that’s it.. The way this Attack was conducted by Heartless Inhuman Brainwashed Terrorists who claim to be Muslims is beyond Appalling. I can’t Imagine if a Muslim was forced to Revoke his religion at Gun Point and was Killed after anyway. It Breaks My Heart. And As a Muslim I want to Apologies to All My Fellow Hindus and my Fellow Indians. People who lost there lives..Heartbroken as An Indian. Heartbroken as a Muslim. I cant get over what Happened in Pahalgam. It has affected me and My Mental health.. But it’s not about me and it’s Not My Pain. It’s the Pain of Everyone who lost their Loved ones. It’s the pain Every Indian is feeling. I am praying for their Strength and Peace. I am praying for the souls who we lost. And We must not mince Words. I Condemn it. I reject it. And I Hate those who did it. Wholeheartedly, Absolutely, Unconditionally.” (sic).
Further she continued writing and said, “Those who did this can follow Any Religion. They are not Human Beings for Me. As embarrassed as I am for the Act of some Muslims. I pray to my fellow Indians to not Alienate all of us. All of us who call India our Home and Our Motherland. If we end up fighting each other. We would be doing what they want us to do, to divide us, to keep us fighting and we must Not let that Happen as Indians. And as an Indian, I stand with my Nation, our Security Forces and I support our Country. As an Indian, I believe All Religions are Safe and Same in my Beautiful Country. I will support my Country’s resolve to Avenge this Unconditionally. No Excuses. No Questions..” (sic)
She said that Kashmir is for her and other people of the state as she continued saying, “KASHMIR. I see change, I see an urge to sustain Normalcy. I see the pain and loss in the eyes of the regular Kashmiri. I see Faith and loyalty for India in the heart of the Young Kashmiri. I see a passion to do well and make India proud in the Kashmiri of today. I feel bad for the regular Kashmiri who is battered in all this Hate. Relieved to see so Many Tricolours in the Valley from the past few days. I appreciate the Chants of Love for India. I Hope this continues forever. As a Kashmiri Indian I appreciate how they positively support Kashmiri spirit of Brotherhood. How they want to get out of this vicious cycle of hate and grow in life.. I ask my fellow Kashmiris to extend this Spirit and Bring back our Brothers and Sisters from the Kashmiri Pandit community. Will you accept it? I DO (wholeheartedly) My first vote. I wish that you not just support it but facilitate it. You proved that tourism was never a CULTURAL INVASION.. ΙΥΚΥΚ. It is infact the source of livelihood of many many Kashmiri house’s.. Now it’s TIME we Kashmiri’s bring back our Kashmir where a Kashmiri pandit lived like a family with there fellow Kashmiri Muslims.. I believe in coexistence, PERIOD..” (sic)”
She concluded as she said, “Lastly, I want Justice as an Indian, as a Muslim and as a Human being. We all must Come together and support India in these Testing Times. Let’s not give them what they want.. we must come together as One People. No Politics. No Divisions. No Hate. No matter what. We are Indians First. Jai Hind.”
