Veteran actress Soni Razdan has spoken in support of Kashmiri students who have been victims of abuse and assault after the 14 February Pulwama terror attack. Razdan, whose father was a Kashmiri Pandit, has called out people who are threatening Kashmiri students across the country after the suicide attack.

“I just want to say to all those Kashmiri students and those who have suffered because of mobs … it’s not you. It’s them. They’re the ones who are the terrorists not you. And everyone understands this except for those pathetic apologies for human beings..those paid to do this,” she tweeted on Friday.

In the deadliest attack in decades on security forces in Jammu and Kashmir, a suicide bomber rammed an SUV carrying 350 kg of explosives into a bus ferrying CRPF troopers on 14 February.

On 17 February, Soni Razdan shared a tweet and urged people to ensure safety of Kashmiri students.

“My dear India … we are hurt we are shocked & we r grieving. Let us do that with dignity and not hate and madness against those that are not perpetrators of insanity and violence. Please refrain from becoming what we despise. Let’s lead by example. Keep Kashmiri students safe,” she wrote.

On Friday, the Supreme Court came out with a direction for the safety of Kashmiri students.

The apex court directed chief secretaries and police chiefs of states and union territories to take prompt action to prevent threats, assaults, intimidation and boycott of Kashmiris, especially students, after the terror carnage which was claimed by the Pakistan-backed Jaish-e-Muhammad terror outfit.
