But when you need to be more vocal about support to your country, you choose to loudly support people who do not need all this support. But your country needs a LOUD voice of support, of empathy, of sympathy, of a nationalistic fervour. That is more important. The likes of Fawad/Mahira/Atif/OmPuri will come and go but where you stood for your country when a trivial issue like this was raised vs your support to your country...that will count. Did you stand united against all things from the opposite side? Because the opposite side is united. Or were you sitting on a fence?
Exactly
People are bending over their backs trying to sound impartial and neutral.
But now is not the time
No matter what a person thinks individually, as a group you do have to support your land/ your army when your sovereignty is threatened.
Fawad khan and his silenfe ( or the video where he dissed India) is just a symbol of apathy from Pakistan.
While they are perfectly okay in that stabd, it is not perfectly Okay for us to support that apathy in name of culture and fairness and entertainment
That is not how the system works
You may not like it, but you are part of it.
Unleas offcourse you decide you leave all of it and go live on an unclaimed piece of land and do as you please.
I cannot believe members are trivializing this serious issue so much.
As for FK, he is a celeb. Such backlashes are part and parcel of their game
Brad pitt chose to do seven years in Tibet
Every tibetans welcomed it
He and his movies are banned in China.
That is how it works.
Countries always put their interest first
I do not see chinese peoppe protesting the ban against Brad in name of culture and art.
Brad is a far superior artist than the likes we are debating over will ever be
