Kangana Ranaut is the latest Bollywood celebrity to speak up on the killing of J&K Sarpanch Ajay Pandita. She issued a strong statement over the killing, and recalled the 1980s' incidents revolving around the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits.
In a video posted by her team on Twitter, Kangana Ranaut is seen calling out the Bollywood celebrities, stating that they join protests only at times of 'Jihadi agenda'. She accused them of teaching Hindus secularism.
She further recalled how Islam entered Jammu and Kashmir and said that the state consists of minority of Hindus. The actress further stated that thus Jammu and Kashmir does not have secularism. Kangana further pleaded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to send Kashmiri Pandits back to their hometown so Hinduism can grow there. She was even heard saying that Ajay Pandit's sacrifice should not go in vain.

Kangana isn't the only celebrity to have spoken up on the matter. Previously actor Anupam Kher also took a strong stand on the matter. “And there is not one voice, who do chest-thumping and express sadness on killing, and injustice and no one tweeted about it, no one bothered. This pause was for his family and all those, who are Muslim or Pandit, who are victims to terrorism. Don’t try to save them when they try to evade the security forces as they too could kill your near and dear ones in a similar way,” he had tweeted.
