Zayn Ibad Khan posts, 'If you stand with Pakistan in any goddam way..'; fans laud him as a man with a 'spine'

The cowardly attack on Indian tourists in Pahalgam has left the nation in anger and shock. Five days back, militants opened fire on the Valley in Pahalgam. They hauled up tourists, and checked their IDs. Hindu male tourists were gunned down in point blank range. Young couples, servicemen and householders lost their lives. The whole of India is demanding justice from the Government. We know that India – Pakistan relations have always been a sensitive point of discussion, especially in the space of media and entertainment. After Hina Khan, Suhagan Chudail and Jaadu Teri Nazar actor Zayn Ibad Khan has put out a firm message on social media.

He also shared snippets where people could be heard talking about how state sponsored terrorism is a reality. Zayn Ibad Khan said he was an Indian first, and a Muslim later. The actor said whosoever in his fandom had allegiance or soft corner for Pakistan after this attack could leave him. He said the loyalty of Indian Muslims should be towards India, and its Government. He said it was sad to see that no one was publicly denouncing the deaths of innocents in the Valley. We know how the deaths in Gaza have been condemned by many average Indian citizens from all religions.

Quite a few TV stars have been called out for being tone deaf after the Pahalgam attack. Dipika Kakar and Shoaib Ibrahim left people enraged after posting that they were safe in the Kashmir trip, and new vlog would come out soon. Likewise, even Karan Veer Mehra’s poem has got mixed reactions. Some thought it was about the Indus River Treaty while others said it was just about humanity. Devoleena Bhattcharjee, Hina Khan and now Zayn are some of the celebs whose bold and unfiltered stance has made people love them even more. The nation is in deep shock and mourning, and all we want is justice.
