The actor condemned the terror attack and urged the nation to come together to support the families of the martyred soldiers
Mumbai: Actor Vicky Kaushal, who played the role of an Army officer in Uri: The Surgical Strike, on Saturday said the terror attack on a CRPF convoy in south Kashmir's Pulwama district should not be forgotten and forgiven.
Though he said it is necessary to give an answer to the Pulwama attack he did say that people should not jump to dole out advice on what should be done. He said, "I feel I am a less knowledgeable person... It is easy to say do this, do that and this should happen or that should happen, there are repercussions also that happen. I think our government will be thinking of the best move, they would be discussing these things and we should leave it to them. This should not be forgotten and should not be forgiven."
