In a terror attack in Sapore, Kashmir, a civilian was killed in front of his grandson. The pictures of the kid sitting on his grandfather's mortal remains have stirred the internet. There are also pictures of the kid being consoled by Kashmiri police personnel. Heartbreaking. Now, the pictures have obviously triggered conversations on social media. Here, we are going to talk about an anger-fuelled Twitter spat between Bollywood star and activist is Mirza and Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Sambit Patra.
While sharing one of the aforementioned pictures, Sambit made a jibe at the 'Pultizer Lovers'. This did not sit well with Dia. She made a retort on Twitter, which turned into an argument, which lasted for a few tweets.

Sambit Accused Dia Of Being Selective
Madam ...this is the time when You should hold a placard close to your heart reading “I am ashamed because of Pak sponsored Jihad in Kashmir”
But you all are selective ..
You’ll never do that .. https://t.co/pRuifNvD4r

Dia Pressed Sambit To Answer Her Question

Sambit Said He Is Not A Selective Placard Holder
Yes Madam I have EMPATHY ..for my forces ..for Every Indian Citizen irrespective of their religion..
Unlike you whose Empathy is selective

Dia Retaliated Saying That Empathy Cannot Be Selective
Empathy is not selective. We either have it or we don’t. No child should ever have to endure the pain and horror this child has. Stop the politics and you have my support. With or without a placard. https://t.co/detSyHVWrL

Then Sambit Wrote
Dia Ji ..since you wanted to support me ..
Can you please tweet against Pak sponsored JIHAD in Kashmir & against their over ground workers using #HumanityOverPakTerror
चलिए Placard छोड़ देते है ..ट्वीट ही कर दीजिए
Thanks https://t.co/Jr9pMDmjsw

Dia stopped responding to Sambit's tweets at this point. Filmmaker Hansal Mehta also criticised Sambit's tweet. Stay tuned for more updates.
Earlier this year, Dar Yasin, Mukhtar Khan and Channi Anand were awarded the 2020 Pulitzer Prize in photography. They were honoured with the prize for their pictures of Jammu and Kashmir after the Modi government abrogated Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.
