As a Peace-Loving Pakistani, I Too Condemn the Pulwama Attack

I condemn the attack not out of how good or virtuous we are but out of compassion for human life.

On 14 February, when the whole world was celebrating the day of love, a worshipper of odium and hate went against the universal theme of the day by killing the breadwinners of over 40 households, by slaughtering not just jawans but the hopes of their families, and tarnishing the already volatile state of tranquility that had been in place between the two nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours.

Adil Dar claimed to be the representative of all Kashmiri Muslims and their views. But in my opinion, he has done something which (if my knowledge on world religions serves me right) is strongly condemnable in every religion of the world.

The very act of taking someone’s life amounts not just to cowardice but also barbarism.
