He also called for an end to the inflammatory rhetoric, urging people to refrain from using provocative language that could escalate the situation further. “Stop stoking the flames with rabble-rousing words.

Khan was not alone in condemning the attack. Other notable Pakistani celebrities, including Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan, and Mawra Hocane, also voiced their disapproval of the military operation.
The Indian military’s Operation Sindoor targeted nine terror launch pads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) as retaliation for the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 26 people.
In an official statement, the Government of India emphasized that the operation was a response to ensure accountability for those responsible for the attack. “We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable,” the statement read.
