Aamir Khan Calls Himself A Proud Muslim As He Condemns Pahalgam Attack: Main Unhe Muslim Nahi Maanta

Aamir Khan, during an interview, expressed his pride in being both a Muslim and an Indian. He strongly condemned terrorism, emphasising that it contradicts the teachings of Islam, which advocates against harming innocents. The actor made it clear that he does not consider terrorists to be true Muslims.

In a conversation with Rajat Sharma on Aap Ki Adalat, Aamir stated, "Main Muslim hoon aur mujhe bada garv hain ke main Muslim hoon. Main Hindustani hoon aur mujhe bada garv hain ke main Hindustani hoon. Ye dono baatein apni jagah sahi hain (I am a Muslim, and I am very proud to be a Muslim. I am an Indian, and I am equally proud to be an Indian. Both these things hold true in their own right)."

Aamir Khan's Stance on Terrorism

The actor elaborated further by saying, "Koi bhi mazhab ye nahi kehta ke aap innocent logon ko maaro. Aur ye terrorist jo kar rahe hain, main unko Islamic maanta hi nahi hoon. Main toh unko Muslim nahi maanta hoon. Islam mein likha hain ke aap kisi bhi innocent aadmi ko nahi maar sakte. Aap auraton pe haath nahi utha sakte, baccho pe haath nahi utha sakte. Ye saari cheezein hamare Islam mein hain. Ye jo kar rahe hain, wo mazhab ke khilaaf jaa rahe hain, galat kar rahe hain wo (No religion teaches us to kill innocent people. And what these terrorists are doing – I don't consider them Islamic. In fact, I don't even consider them Muslims. Islam clearly states that you cannot harm an innocent person. You cannot raise your hand against women or against children. All of these principles are part of our faith. What these people are doing goes against religion – they are doing wrong)."

This discussion arose following the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, where 26 tourists lost their lives. In response to this attack, Indian forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 at 1:44 AM targeting nine locations in Pakistan and PoK known for terrorist activities.

Operation Sindoor: India's Response

The operation lasted four days and concluded after Pakistan requested a ceasefire. Despite this request for peace, New Delhi made its stance clear internationally: India will act decisively to protect its citizens without seeking external approval when necessary.
