MUMBAI: All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi today said the pressure tactic on Kashmiri teen Zaira Wasim, forcing her to tender an apology over a meeting with J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti was “unwarranted and uncalled for”.
Wasim, who played the younger version of Indian wrestler Geeta Phogat in Aamir Khan’s Bollywood blockbuster “Dangal”, had yesterday apologised for “offending” and “unintentionally hurting” people after her meeting with Mufti on Saturday.
“Nobody should be pressurised into doing or not doing something, especially a 16-year-old girl. This is completely unwarranted and uncalled for. This pressure worked on her so much that she was forced to apologise for which there was no need at all,” Owaisi said. (AGENCIES)
