Jannat Mirza returning home after being criticised for silence on Pak-India tensions

Pakistani TikToker Jannat Mirza, who has recently been the target of criticism for remaining silent on the rising tensions between Pakistan and India, has now shared her thoughts—urging peace and dialogue over war.

In a viral video, Jannat was seen avoiding a journalist’s question about how the escalating tensions between the two countries might impact public figures like herself.

Her refusal to respond drew backlash, with many netizens accusing her of prioritising Indian followers over taking a stand for Pakistan.
Without responding to the criticism, Jannat posted an Instagram story expressing her concern over the situation. She wrote: “I was supposed to spend my holidays in London, but due to the looming threat of war between India and Pakistan, I've decided to cut my trip short and return home. My love for Pakistan knows no bounds, and nothing is more important to me than the safety and well-being of my country.”

She further emphasised the need for peace, saying, “War is never a solution to any problem; it only brings destruction and devastation. I firmly believe that issues should be resolved through peaceful dialogue and table talks, not through violence and aggression.”

Jannat concluded her message with a hopeful note, “Let's hope for a peaceful resolution and a brighter future for our beloved Pakistan.”

Her statement comes at a time when public figures are increasingly under pressure to speak up amid growing tensions between the neighbouring nations.
