HIGHLIGHTS

  • Pakistani actor-singer Ali Zafar praised Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan for his speech on Pulwama terror attack.
  • Ali Zafar, who has worked in several Bollywood films, said, "What a speech!"
  • The Pulwama terror attack on February 14 is one of the worst terror attacks on Indian soil.
Pakistan continues to deny any involvement in the deadly attack on a security convoy in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir, in which 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troops were martyred.
On Thursday afternoon, a suicide bomber of the Pakistan-sponsored terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad rammed an explosive-laden SUV into a bus in the 78-vehicle security convoy. The attack is the deadliest on security forces in decades.
In a televised address, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan defended his country and claimed that India was levelling allegations without any proof or proper investigation. He offered to support the investigation and also promised to take action if any evidence suggesting the involvement of Pakistan in the attack was found.
Khan also warned that Pakistan will retaliate if India attacks. "All this talk of attacking Pakistan is happening as the polls are around the corner. However, if these are serious in any way, please make note of one thing clearly - Pakistan will not think of retaliating, it will retaliate," he said.
Pakistani actor-singer Ali Zafar lauded Khan and tweeted, "What a speech!"
Zafar made his Bollywood debut in 2010 in Abhishek Sharma's Tere Bin Laden. He has appeared in a number of Hindi films, including Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Chashme Baddoor and London, Paris, New York. He was last seen in Gauri Shinde's Dear Zindagi, which released in 2016.
Meanwhile, the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has announced a total ban on Pakistani actors and artistes in India on Monday in the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Pulwama. The association warned in a letter, "Still if any organisation insist on working with Pakistani artists will be banned by AICWA and a strong action will be taken against them."
On Sunday, filmmaker and President of Indian Film and Television Directors' Association, Ashoke Pandit, announced that no Pakistani artiste would be allowed to work in India. "No Bollywood filmmaker will take any Pakistani artiste in his film. Even music companies will stop working with Pakistani singers," Pandit told India Today Television.
"If any filmmaker or music company does not listen to the FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), we will stop the shooting of any film with Pakistani artistes and vandalise its sets," he warned.
