Sitting in stoic silence beside the body of her Navy officer husband, killed in the Pahalgam terror attack, she became the face of the tragedy. However, the outpouring of support for Himanshi Narwal soon turned into social hate after she asked people not to target Muslims and Kashmiris.
Amid relentless trolls and abuse, the National Commission for Women (NCW) has eventually stepped in, urging restraint. In a strongly worded statement, the women’s panel asserted that it was wrong to troll a woman based on her ideological expression or personal life.
“After the death of Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, the way his wife Himanshi Narwal is being criticised on social media in relation to one of her statements is unfortunate and condemnable,” the NCW statement posted on X said.
The NCW said disagreement must always be expressed with decency and within constitutional limits even though it admitted that her remarks might not have resonated with many people.
“Targeting a woman for her ideological expression or personal life in such a manner is completely unacceptable,” the NCW said even as it underlined that the country was “hurt and angry” by the heinous act in Pahalgam.
