Aamir Khan provides words of wisdom on Mumbai terror attacks
With the heart of Bollywood under attack, perfectionist artist Aamir Khan decided to help out in the only way he could – by writing up words of wisdom on his popular blog.
Here is a transcript of Aamir’s thoughts: “Have been watching and to see various locations in Mumbai turned into a war zone is shocking and heart breaking to say the least. My heartfelt condolences to the families of persons killed and taken hostage. I was feeling sick in the stomach when the fire broke out at the Taj. What would the people caught inside be going through? The fire fighters were doing their best but my imagination was running wild and I was feeling helpless watching other people trapped in the rooms adjoining the fire. My heartfelt condolences to the family of the brave officers of the Mumbai Police who lost their lives leading from the front to take on these terrorists. Especially Hemant Karkare of the ATS who in the recent past was being targeted by various political parties for the work that he was doing. When will these politicians realize and admit that terrorists HAVE NO RELIGION. Terrorists are not Hindu or Muslim or Christian. They are not people of religion or God. They are people who have gone totally sick in their head and have to be dealt with in that manner. Hemant Karkare is an example of a brave officer who gave his life in the line of duty. At this moment I pray that the brave officers of the Mumbai Police, the Indian Army, Navy, the NSG and the various other security forces dealing with the situation are able to end this crisis as soon as possible. If it had just been a matter of simply fighting the terrorists the security forces would have dealt with it sooner, but here of course the situation is extremely complicated with many innocent lives at stake. The fact that the locations are huge hotels with multiple floors, hundreds of rooms, many corridors, staff quarters, work spaces, entries, exits etc, and have innocent guests still in there, have made the task very difficult and delicate. I dread to think of how various political parties are now going to try and use this tragedy to further their political careers. At least now they should learn to not divide people and instead become responsible leaders. An incident such as this really exposes how ill-equipped we are as a society as far as proper leaders go. We desperately need young, dynamic, honest, intelligent and upright leaders, who actually care for the country.”
With near to 200 people dead, we are relived to report that the Mumbai authorities have finally managed to get the situation under control. Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones in this insane act and we applaud the effort of the rescuers.
DEAR AMIR PLEASE, OK?
THEY HAVE NO RELIGION YET THEY SCREAM “ALLAH HO AKBAR” NOT “PRAISE THE LORD”
U SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF UR RELIGION
