Singer-actor Ali Zafar, on Tuesday, commended PM Imran Khan’s address to India over the Pulwama attack that took place on Thursday. Ali, who has acted in a number of Bollywood films including ‘Tere Bin Laden’, ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’, ‘Chashme Baddoor’, ‘Total Siyapaa’, ‘Kill Dil’ and ‘Dear Zindagi’, wrote in a tweet, “What a speech! @ImranKhanPTI” “Listen with an open heart and mind devoid of ego, bias or hatred. If can’t, listen again after a few days in a moment of peace.#love #peace # #humanity #togetherness above all. PM Imran Khan Address To The Nation,” he wrote in another tweet. Imran, in his nearly six minute-long speech, denied Pakistan’s involvement in the Pulwama attack. The Pakistan PM said that his country itself was a victim of terrorism and that 70,000 Pakistanis had lost their lives to that menace. He also warned India of retaliation if it launched an attack on Pakistan.
