Hina Khan faces backlash for supporting… amid India-Pakistan war: ‘I will always be…’

Hina Khan issued an official statement revealing that she is facing a wave of online criticism and threats after expressing support for her country amid India-Pakistan war. Sharing a long note on her Instagram, Hina addressed the backlash she is facing from netizens across the border. Without mentioning any names, she revealed about how these hateful messages is taking toll on her health. Moreover, she shared how they are targeting not just her patriotism, but also her family and medical condition.

Hina shared on her Instagram story, “All my life I only saw affection from across the border. After supporting my country before and after Operation Sindoor, many of you abused me, cursed me, many have unfollowed me. Many more threatening to unfollow me. This threat is accompanied by abuses, salacious and demeaning hate directed not just to me but to my medical condition, my family and even my faith.”

Hina clarified that she never intended to spread hate, but just stood by her country during such a crucial time. She further added, “I don’t expect you to support my country. You support yours that’s ok, I don’t expect you to understand the nuances beyond the mutual alienations. I only hoped that you will conduct yourself at least as humanly as I have been towards you all. But I guess, that’s the difference.”

Making her stance clear, Hina further concluded, “I am not anything if I am not an Indian. I will always be an Indian, First. So, Go Ahead. UNFOLLOW ME. I Don’t Care. I did not abuse or curse any of you.. I only supported my country. What you say defines you. What you choose defines your ideology. How you act in tough times shows your depth as a human being. It has nothing to do with me. No matter what. I will support my country. Jai Hind.”

India-Pakistan conflict escalated after Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor, targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on Wednesday. The mission was a retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people, mostly tourists were killed, based on their religion.
