Hurt Ishaan Khatter Urges Against Blind Hatred, Recalls Visit to Pahalgam Weeks Before Terror Attack

Pahalgam Terror Attack: After the terror attack in Pahalgam, Actor Ishaan Khatter urged Indians to remain united and not be divided by religious differences. He mentioned that he had been to Pahalgam just a few weeks before the attack.

Ishaan visited Pahalgam two months ago to shoot a music video for the song "Pyaar Aata Hai" with Tara Sutaria. He shared his feelings about the incident on Instagram.

Ishaan wrote, “On a personal note, I'd like to say this. I was in Pahalgam barely 2 months ago. I have always felt a deep connection and love for Kashmir and have always found the people to be kind and helpful. I've met some beautiful souls there. My heart aches to imagine the loss that the victims of these awful attacks are facing”.

He added, “Let's not forget Kashmir has long been damaged. A place that is often called heaven on earth is deeply wounded by acts like these and the lives of its people indelibly affected. We stand to be tested not for our politics, not for our religion but for our HUMANITY”.

The actor urged people not to get distracted by hate and focus on accounting for justice. He shared, “Let's never forget and let's direct our collective anger towards accounting for JUSTICE and not blind hatred. Let's be what these pathetic assailants want us to forget we really are - Human beings, with sensitivity, reasoning and thoughtfulness”.

In response to the attack, India decided to take strong actions against Pakistan. These included stopping the Indus Waters Treaty and reducing diplomatic contacts. On Thursday, India also announced that all visas issued to Pakistani nationals would be canceled starting April 27. Additionally, Indians living in Pakistan were advised to return home as soon as possible due to growing tensions between the two countries.

The terror attack, one of the deadliest in the region since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, has triggered a massive security operation to hunt down the perpetrators.
