‘What
makes
this
tragedy
even
more
painful
is
the
attempt
by
some
to
weaponise
it,
to
paint
an
entire
community
with
the
brush
of
guilt.
‘This
is
not
just
irresponsible.
It
is
dangerous.’

‘What
happened
in
Pahalgam
is
not
just
tragic,
it
is
an
unbearable,
heartbreaking
loss. 28
innocent
lives,
taken
in
a
horrifying
act
of
terror,’
Farah
Khan
Ali
wrote
on
social
media,
condemning
the
horrifying
Pahalgam
terror
attack.
‘Families
shattered
and
futures
stolen.
I
mourn
with
the
victims.
I
stand
with
their
loved
ones. There
are
no
words
that
can
truly
do
justice
to
this
grief.
‘But
what
makes
this
tragedy
even
more
painful
is
the
attempt
by
some
to
weaponise
it,
to
paint
an
entire
community
with
the
brush
of
guilt. This
is
not
just
irresponsible.
It
is
dangerous,’
Farah,
who
is
Zayed
Khan’s
sister
and
DJ
Aqueel’s
wife,
added.
‘Terror
has
no
religion. Hatred
has
no
faith.
‘To
hold
millions
of
peaceful
citizens
accountable
for
the
actions
of
a
few
violent
extremists
is
not
justice,
it
is
bigotry.
When
Muslims
have
been
lynched
by
mobs
under
the
shadow
of
Hindu
extremism,
I
did
not
and
will
not
condemn
all
Hindus.
‘Justice
demands
nuance. Humanity
demands
empathy. Let
us
not
forget
that. In
times
like
these,
our
strength
lies
in
our
UNITY.
‘We
must
call
out
violence
wherever
it
comes
from
but
we
must
also
call
out
those
who
seek
to
divide
us
in
its
aftermath. The
loss
in
Pahalgam
belongs
to
ALL
of
us.
‘Let
our
response
show
who
we
truly
are.
Not
a
people
consumed
by
hate,
but
a
Nation
that
still
believes
in
the
goodness
of
Humanity
and
the
truth.
‘Religion
does
not
fail
people.
People
fail
religion.
‘Bereaved
by
the
death
of
innocents
in
Pahalgam.
May
the
terrorists
responsible
for
this
dastardly
act
be
taken
to
task
and
punished
severely
for
this
inhumane
act.’
Samir
Soni commented
on
her
post,
‘My
dearest
Farah,
I’m
sorry
terrorist
have
a
religion
too,
specially
if
they
kill
in
its
name
(hindu/muslim/
Christian
etc)
disowning
them
is
not
a
solution,
its
merely
distancing
ourselves
from
the
event,
which
i
can
understand
but
not
necessarily
agree.
Stay
blessed.’
On
his
Instagram
post,
he
writes,
‘Time
for
talks
is
over!
An
Eye
for
an
Eye
does
not
leave
the
world
Blind,
instead
it
protects
your
other
Eye!
#Jaihind.’
