actor om puris wife nandita has put forth her thoughts about the indiapakistan conflict issue that has been the hot topic of discusssion she has lashed out at om puri for his comments on indian soldiers she believes that the ban is justified and also brings to light various issues that have not been discussedread the open letter that nandita puri has written why not banabout six months back long before this issue of banning pakistani artistes arose i was sharing my thoughts with a friend why have these pak actors and singers when we have enough and perhaps better talent here my friend was a little skeptical but then i explained that we are not a super rich country and it is our moral obligation to provide employment for our people rather than foreignerscharity begins at home first feed your family and then distribute the excess food in the neighborhood my friend like a whole bunch of parroting indians replied that creativity has noborders sure i would like to agree but only if it is preceded by humanity has no borders when our army is being attacked when innocent civilians are being killed and our people and products are being banned across the border is this creativity nonsense justifiedconsidering the current mood which is hostile anti pakistan and near warlike nothing but country and i repeat country comes first for me everything comes later including professional and personal relationships at this point in time when we are fighting the enemy country we do not import or export goods and that includes talentit is at such times we have to portray a united front like the army and unlike the politicians and bollywood personalities if you have any patriotic ideas then by all means air it publicly lift the public morale if you dont then use self restraint and keep it within your coterie and do not use the public platform and the media to gain some cheap publicity just like the om puris and salman khans did recentlysalman could be right but as a senior inspector from the local police station said yeh sahi waqt nahin hai waqt it is all about timing imagine if all our nationalist leaders nehru patel bose gokhale jinnah and gandhi had access to the electronic media and aired their opinions individuallyindependence would have been still a pipe dream for us thank god for such small merciesas for om puris comments the less said the better it is not only shocking but truly disgusting in future people like him should not be given media time as obviously they havent a clue about what they are saying propagating suicide bombing and seditious thoughtsall i can say is if you so believe in it then practice what you preach dont provoke the youth wronglybe it aamir khan or salman khan or om puri and a host of other bollywood celebs they keep making callous statements get their cheap publicity for free and then merely get away
