People worldwide are utilising the far-reaching power of social media to shed light on the ongoing atrocities in Gaza, as they unite in their calls for action and awareness. Pakistan, too, is a part of this global wave, with both celebrities and ordinary citizens taking to their social media accounts to express solidarity with Palestine.
However, amidst the chorus of voices advocating for the cause of Palestine, one prominent TV celebrity, Ayeza Khan, who also holds a significant presence on social media, has chosen not to post about the issue. When questioned about her stance, she responded in a now deleted post that, “Because I know that praying daily is more powerful than posting daily.”
She emphasised the importance of collective prayers and urged people to avoid pointing fingers or laying blame on the platform. Ayeza Khan’s message continued, “We all have children and loved ones, and we can all feel the pain. We cannot imagine how painful it is for them, but I am keeping my faith in Allah, and very soon, Allah will bring justice, Ameen.”
However, the response received a massive backlash from her followers and critics alike, which eventually led Ayeza to delete her original post. Social media has evolved into a powerful platform for unity and solidarity, transcending borders and connecting people from all corners of the globe who share a common hope for peace and justice.
