However, Amina Najim posted a statement on her Instagram handle condemning the government. Her statement read, “Yes, I'm ashamed our country sought out killing as the solution when so many questions are still unanswered and the economic situation of the country is at its worst. Remember war doesn't bring peace nor does killing. I don't support it. People who think they have sought revenge for the Pahalgam attack have been manipulated. It's a war we are getting into and the loss is only for the civilians.I'm an Indian who thinks for the welfare of its people, not the one that speaks only when the ego is hurt.”
