Delhi May 7: Actor Hina Khan has expressed her outrage over a sexual assault and murder case in Nishat, a town in Kashmir, emphasising that rape and sexual assault can never be justified by factors such as alcohol consumption, religion, community, geography, or attire. Hina believes it’s crucial to condemn crimes committed by individuals from any community, including Kashmiri Muslims, without sugarcoating or downplaying the severity of their actions.
Hina Khan expresses her anger
Hina took to Instagram Stories to express her disappointment about the case, highlighting the need to differentiate between rape and sexual assault.
In her first Story, Hina wrote, “Can someone for Gods sake teach these morons the difference between sexual assault and rape.. A rape is a rape. A murder is a murder. A sexual Assault may differ in description but it’s just the precursor of rape. It only means that the perpetrators could not do it rather than did not do it. A Rapist blames everything else than Himself. Don’t act like that criminal. Don’t use Alcohol to give the Criminal a ‘Free Get Away Card’. Do not justify rape. Do not even justify sexual assault. Not in the name of religion, community, geography or attire. These demons exist everywhere, in every community, every religion lurking for opportunity.”
Hina urged people to stop blaming alcohol as the reason behind such crimes, and take strict action. The actor wrote, “Alcohol causes many things but it doesn’t make a good man a rapist! Stop alcohol blaming and escapism. Good men can handle alcohol just as they handle superior physical power compared to a woman; they use it to protect women… It’s high time we call out what’s happened without mincing words just because it’s done by a Kashmiri Muslim and blame alcohol for your so-called agenda.”
Summary: Hina Khan criticized those blaming alcohol in the Nishat case, saying such crimes exist across all religions and communities.
