The Kaabil actor wrote, “Yes, we need to evolve into a society where we all feel equally safe. But that is going to take decades. It’s going to hopefully happen by sensitising and empowering our sons and daughters. The next generation will be better. We will get there. Eventually. But what in the interim? Right now, justice would be to put a hard stop to such atrocities. And the only way to do that is with a punishment so harsh that it scares the living daylights out of such perpetrators. That’s what we need. Perhaps? I stand with the victim’s family in seeking justice for their daughter, and I stand with all the doctors that were attacked last night.?
