Janhvi Kapoor Calls Out Pakistani Media For Referring To Pulwama Suicide Bomber As Freedom Fighter!

February 14 will go down as one of the darkest periods for India, on account of the Jaish-e-Mohammad terror attack on a CRPF convoy that killed 44 CRPF personnel. And while the entire nation is on an uproar and demanding that these martyrs lives be avenged, India is yet to take a call on that. On the other hand, good Samaritans and celebrities have donated money and started fundraisers to help the bereaved families of these jawans, while expressing anguish and condolences to their kin. Pulwama Terror Attack: Amitabh Bachchan To Donate 5 lakh Rupees To Each Family of the CRPF Martyrs

However, the Pakistani media’s reporting of the Pulwama attacks is what can be called shameful and extremely insensitive. And while Pakistan’s foreign minister issued a statement saying that India should stop accusing Pakistan for the Pulwama attacks, the country’s newspaper The Nation has lauded the attack, calling it a fight for freedom in India Occupied Kashmir and hailed JeM bomber Adil Ahmed Dar as a 'Freedom Fighter'. Pakistan Media Hails JeM Terrorist As ‘Freedom Fighter’; Here’s How Pak Media Covered Pulwama Attack

And condemning this heavily was Janhvi Kapoor. The Dhadak actress, in a lengthy post on Instagram, called out the Pakistani media for trying to twist and use the incident for their political agendas.

The reasons to be angered and hurt are plenty. The one that upsets me the most is that our men didn’t even get the chance to fight for themselves. The second photo is of a propagandist article that is celebrating this terrorist attack as a fight for freedom. It’s tragic and irresponsible that the truths of such a condemnable act are being distorted by the media to suit their political agendas. These men have been robbed of not just their lives but also the respect that they deserve as protectors of a nation. Let’s pray for the souls of our brave men and for the strength of their families. #jaihind 🇮🇳

We completely agree with Janhvi’s words. Irrespective of the circumstances, one (read Pakistani media here) must treat the incident in a delicate and sensitive manner. Also, an ANI report mentioned how Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told a paper in Munich that - "India should detest from levelling allegations on Pakistan."

Read the tweet below:

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that India should stop "accusing" Pakistan with "baseless allegations" over its involvement in the Pulwama terror attack that claimed the lives of 40 CRPF personnel

If we go by what Pak's foreign minister is saying, then why is the country's daily publishing such stories and referring to the JeM bomber as a freedom fighter? Kinda contradicts the statement that Shah Mehmood Qureshi has given, doesn't it?
