Mumbai: Kamal Haasan has condemned the Paris terror attacks and has urged the West to take responsible steps. On Friday, seven Islamic State jihadists carried out the worst attacks ever on French soil, sowing terror at six locations in Paris that left at least 129 people dead. The entire world expressed shock when gunfire and explosions erupted in several parts of Paris.
Several stars took to Twitter to express their solidarity with the people in Paris. Kamal Haasan posted a heartfelt note on social media where he spoke about how the Gandhian concept of ‘ahimsa’ is the need of the hour. Here's what he has to say-
Its an abhorable pattern established by early crossborder terrorists like Illech Ramirez Sanchez alias Jackal. No amount of policing will deter these excess'.
At the peril of sounding naive and cliched I take this opportunity to evoke the Ahinsa spirit practiced and propounded by Gandhi ji. Especially to the European foreign policy makers I beseech, any populist martial reaction will only further the cause of those who have lost the sense of the world as a comunity. The west must take responsible steps from now on with great introspection as the world is watching. Now is the time for straight talk and honest action. Definitely not the time for dubioud double speakers. The world is ours and we must sieze it from the archaic and bloody hands of politicians who still seek solutions through war. It is so old fashioned to settle disputes by war anymore. The pinnacle of valour is Ahinsa. Lets see if the west has come of age.
