Bollywood actress Dia Mirza recently commented on the ongoing controversy surrounding the 1999 IC 814 hijacking and the mention of certain terrorist names linked to the incident. Dia, known for her candid views on sensitive issues, emphasized that all statements regarding the hijacking should be “verifiable and factual.” Her remarks come in light of allegations concerning who was involved in the negotiations and the subsequent release of terrorists in exchange for hostages.
The IC 814 hijacking remains one of India’s most haunting episodes of terrorism, where a plane was seized by terrorists and flown to Kandahar, Afghanistan. Negotiations led to the release of high-profile terrorists in exchange for the passengers’ safety. The event has long been the subject of public debate and political controversy. Some media reports have recently revived questions about the identities of those responsible and the decisions taken during the crisis.
Mirza’s comments are a call for responsible journalism and an accurate portrayal of historical events. In a time when misinformation can spread quickly, the actress advocates for ensuring that any narrative connected to such a significant and sensitive event is grounded in verified facts, rather than assumptions or sensationalism.
