And Mahira was not having it! Keeping her calm, she replied to the Twitter user how most of us would.
You have all the right to disagree with me. And to answer your question- I am always there raising my voice, whether it is a minority atrocity or something else I feel strongly about. This isn’t abt India vs Pakistan. It’s humanity vs fascist politics. 🙏🏼 peace for both nations. https://t.co/IHPsp3y6ip
