Hina Khan Condemns Pahalgam Attack:

Hina also said that the attack affected her mental health, adding that the tragic incident broke her heart. She said that she stands with India, and our security forces. Hina further wrote that she believes "all religions are safe and same in my beautiful country". She wrote, "Condolences. Dark Day. Teary Eyes. Condemnation, Calls of Compassion. Nothing means anything if we fail to accept the reality. If we don't accept what really happened, especially as Muslims, everything else is just talk. Simple talk.. A couple of tweets and that's it."

"I Can't Get Over What Happened In Pahalgam"

Hina called the terrorists "heartless, inhuman and brainwashed" people. "The way this attack was conducted by heartless, inhuman, brainwashed terrorists who claim to be Muslims is beyond appalling. I can't imagine if a Muslim was forced to revoke his religion at gunpoint and was killed anyway. It breaks my heart. And as a Muslim, I want to apologize to all my fellow Hindus and my fellow Indians. People who lost their lives. Heartbroken as an Indian. Heartbroken as a Muslim. I can't get over what happened in Pahalgam," she added.

"It Has Affected Me And My Mental Health"

She said that she is praying for those affected in the attack. "It has affected me and my mental health.. But it's not about me, and it's not my pain. It's the pain of everyone who lost their loved ones. It's the pain every Indian is feeling. I am praying for their strength and peace. I am praying for the souls who we lost. And we must not mince words. I condemn it. I reject it. And I hate those who did it. Wholeheartedly, absolutely, unconditionally," she added.

"I Feel Bad For The Regular Kashmiri..."

In a message to the people of the Valley, Hina urged them to "bring back our brothers and sisters from the Kashmiri Pandit community". "Kashmir. I see change, I see an urge to sustain normalcy. I see the pain and loss in the eyes of the regular Kashmiri. I see faith and loyalty for India in the heart of the young Kashmiri. I see a passion to do well and make India proud in the Kashmiri of today. I feel bad for the regular Kashmiri who is battered in all this hate," she added.

"I Appreciate The Chants Of Love For India..."

"Relieved to see so many tricolors in the Valley from the past few days. I appreciate the chants of love for India. I hope this continues forever. As a Kashmiri Indian I appreciate how they positively support Kashmiri spirit of brotherhood. How they want to get out of this vicious cycle of hate and grow in life.. I ask my fellow Kashmiris to extend this spirit and bring back our brothers and sisters from the Kashmiri Pandit community. Will you accept it? I do (wholeheartedly). My first vote.. I wish that you not just support it but facilitate it. You proved that tourism was never a cultural invasion.. IYKYK. It is in fact the source of livelihood of many, many Kashmiri houses.. Now it's time we Kashmiris bring back our Kashmir where a Kashmiri pandit lived like a family with their fellow Kashmiri Muslims.. I believe in coexistence, period," she added.

Hina also wrote that she wants justice for the victims. "Lastly, I want justice as an Indian, as a Muslim and as a human being. We all must come together and support India in these testing times. Let's not give them what they want.. we must come together as one people. No politics. No divisions. No hate. No matter what. We are Indians first (folded hands emojis). Jai Hind (National Flag emoji)," concluded her note. She captioned the post, “Peace and Love (folded hands emoji).”
