Pakistan Ban is not the focus, Pakistan destruction is- Kangana

It is always harrowing to wake up to the news of terror attacks and today, the nation was in a state of shock to learn about the deadliest terror attacks that took place in Jammu and Kashmir wherein a Jaish-e-Mohammed suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) bus in the Pulwama district killing more than 40 personnel. In the wake of these attacks, Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar turned down an invitation by the Karachi Arts Council today citing the dastardly attack on our CRPF jawans.

Shabana Azmi talking exclusively to Pinkvilla said, "Javed and I were invited by Karachi Arts Council for a 2-day event celebrating my father Kaifi Azmi's birth centenary. I appreciate that our hosts have mutually agreed to cancel the event at the nth hour in wake of the Pulwama attack. Now, after Shabana and Javed's heroic move, we got in touch with Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi's actress, Kangana Ranaut and while talking EXCLUSIVELY to Pinkvilla, she condemned the terror attacks as she said, "Pakistan has not only violated our nation's security they have also attacked our dignity by openly threatening and humiliating us, we need to take decisive actions or else our silence will be misunderstood for our cowardice... Bharat is bleeding today, killing of our sons is like a dagger in our gut, anyone who lectures about non-violence and peace at this time should be painted black, put on a donkey and slapped by everyone on the streets.

When we quizzed her about Shabana Azmi's move to cancel the Karachi event, Kangana said, "People like Shabana Azmi calling for halt on cultural exchange, they are the ones who promote Bharat tere Tukade honge gangs... why did they organize an event in Karachi in the first place when Pakistani artists have been banned after Uri attacks and now they are trying to save face. Film industry is full of such antinationals who boost enemies morals in many ways but right now is the time to focus on decisive actions... Pakistan ban is not the focus, Pakistan destruction is.

The Pulwama attack comes almost three years after the Uri Attacks took place in Kashmir, where 4 armed militants ambushed an Indian Army Base in Uri, killing almost 20 army men. Soon after the attacks, PM Narendra Modi assured the nation that the security personnel have been given the freedom to act as they think befits. Plus, India has called upon the United Nations to declare Jaish-E-Mohammed, the terror group behind the attack, as a terror organization.
