Gurmehar had posted a video last summer where she narrated, with placards, her journey from being a Pakistan/Muslim-hating daughter of a soldier martyred in Kargil to a vocal peacenik.
"I also remember how much I used to hate Pakistan and Pakistanis because they killed my Dad. I used to hate Muslims too because I thought all Muslims are Pakistanis. When I was 6 years old, I tried to stab a lady in a burkha. Because for some strange reason, I thought she was responsible for my father’s death. My mother held me back and made me understand that Pakistan did not kill my dad, war killed him," she had said.
"It took me a while to know but today I do. I have learnt to let go of my hate. It was not easy but its not difficult. If I can do it, so can you," Kaur stated in a video.
In response to Gurmehar's video, a Pakistani youth on Tuesday shared a video extending his support to the martyr's daughter. Fayaz Khan also conveyed his message through a series of placards.
"Hi Gurmehar Kaur. I am Fayaz from Pakistan. When I first came to Australia, I was looking at Indians the way I was told at school. Soon we were sharing food and classroom chairs with each other like close friend," he said in a video.
"We all feel sorry for you and your family for the loss of your dad in Kargil war. I have seen war and death very closely in my hometown Swat and luckily didn't lose any family members but I am surrounded by thousand of Gurmehar Kaurs," he added.
Fayaz, who stays in Australia, said he wants visa restrictions between Indian and Pakistan to end.
"Let us fight for peace and to save thousands of others across the border from suffering like Gurmehar Kaur. I cannot give you the love of a dad but you surely got a brother from 'dushman dash'. Let it be a worldwide unique relationship where brother is a Muslim and sister is Sikh," he said.
