'Taken out of context': Sai Pallavi clarifies her Kashmir genocide and lynching remarks
India Today
Actor Sai Pallavi clarified that her remarks on Kashmir genocide and lynchings were taken out of context.
Actor Sai Pallavi on Saturday issued a clarification after her remarks comparing the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits with cow vigilantism left the internet divided. She stated that her intention was to convey that violence in the name of any religion was a huge sin and snippets of the interview were taken out of context.
"After I watched the film Kashmir Files, I had the opportunity to speak with the director. I was disturbed seeing the plight of people. I would never be-little tragedy like the genocide. Having said that, I can never come to terms with the mob lynching incident that happened during Covid times. I believe violence in any form is wrong and violence in the name of any religion is wrong," she said.
"All I wanted to convey was that violence in the name of any religion is a huge sin. Many people online justified the mob lynching incidents. I believe all lives are important. I hope a day doesn't come when a child is born and he/she is afraid of his/her identity," she added.
