Justice for Pooja Kumari: Rohail, Ushna condemn murder of Hindu teenager in Sukkur
Music producer Rohail Hyatt and actor Ushna Shah recently took to social media to condemn the brutal murder of 18-year-old Hindu girl Pooja Kumari for refusing a marriage proposal in Sukkur. Rohail called out the “pathetic” justice system for failing to protect Pooja, while Ushna asserted that ending religious intolerance starts from home.
Rohail tweeted, “So unfortunate. Rest in peace, beautiful Pooja.” The music composer continued, “Our criminal justice system is so pathetic that evil people just don’t fear any consequences of their actions. It’s our courts, and our judiciary who are responsible for such lawlessness,” ending his tweet with a hashtag that read, “Justice for Pooja Kumari.”

On the other hand, Ushna urged others to take concrete steps towards a more harmonious society. She wrote, “Want to end intolerance? Start at home: Share a meal with someone belonging to a religious minority. Use dishes from the same set. Do this in front of your children.”
