Mehwish Hayat Clarifies Her Stance On Kashmir

Soon, Mehwish Hayat took to twitter to clarify her stance. She explained that she has remained vocal on the issue and will continue to do so. While explaining her side of the story further she said that she was at a charity event where she had been requested by the PR not to discuss politics in order to ensure that the focus remains on the orphans she was there to help.

The leaked video is being taken out of context. I’ve been the most vocal on #Kashmir issue globally & will continue to do so. I have big plans for next steps. This was a charity event & was requested by the PR not to be political &not distract from the orphans I was there to help

“کیسی بے حس قوم ہیں ہم”
مہوش حیات، کشمیر کے خصوصی تشخص کے خاتمے کے بعد پہلی مضبوط آواز تھی جو عالمی میڈیا پر گونجی اور انہوں بھرپور انداز میں مظلوم کشمیریوں کی ترجمانی کی، انہیں کو متنازعہ بنایا جا رہا ہے۔

Renowned singer Shehzad Roy and anchor person Iqrar ul Hassan Syed also came forward to help Mehwish clear the air. 

The way you articulated the human rights violation in Kashmir and passionately promoted pakistan and the way it was reported in the international media, makes me a proud Pakistani. As Colleagues we are behind you. You don’t have to give clarifications for any leaked video https://t.co/gljW5ZDqJn

It’s a dream of every Pakistani Artist to work in Bollywood but recently Mehwish Hayat proved by criticising Indian Policies that she loves her Country more than her Career… We all know she has always been vocal about Kashmir and Indian policies 👍 https://t.co/QsXlVsxerp
