Actress Leslie Tripathy has taken to Instagram to share a heartfelt plea for peace and safety, specifically mentioning the Hindu community, from the scenic valley of Pahalgam in Kashmir. The post comes at a time when concerns about communal tensions have been making headlines across the country.

In her Instagram post, Tripathy shared a poster showing the horrific attacks on Hindus in West Bengal and in Kashmir, while expressing her concerns for peace. The actress captioned the post with, “Praying for safety of Hindus. Why can’t we all stop the bloodbath and the hatred towards our brothers and sisters” with the hashtags #pahalgam and #pahalgham_kashmir.

A Call For Unity From Kashmir’s Paradise

Pahalgam, located in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir, is known for its breathtaking landscapes and is a popular tourist destination. The area has historically been a symbol of Kashmir’s natural beauty and cultural diversity. The recent attack by Pakistani terrorists on non-muslim tourists at Baisaran Valley in the Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir province comes as a shock.

Tripathy’s post appears to be a reference to recent incidents that have raised concerns about the safety of the local Indian Hindu community settled in the border regions. While she doesn’t explicitly specify the gory details of the terrorist massacre that occurred in Pahalgam, the picture she shared emphasizes the need for religious harmony and an end to violence.

Using Social Media For Social Causes

Tripathy’s post on the Pahalgam attack reflects her willingness to use her public platform to address concerns that have nothing to do with her acting career or immediate personal life. The call for peace and harmony indicates her engagement with current events and issues of national importance that affect communities across India. The actress’s message resonates with many public figures and Bollywood celebrities who have recently spoken out about the importance of peaceful coexistence in India.

As Tripathy continues her work across film industries and entertainment platforms, her voice joins others calling for unity and an end to violence between communities. This goes to suggest that public figures in the entertainment industry are increasingly willing to address sensitive social issues.

Fans and followers have responded to her post with supportive messages, appreciating her stand for peace and harmony at a time when such voices are much needed.
