The message posted by Shaheen read: "With all respect, every day, thousands of people die, but still the world moves on. Just due to one politician died a natural death, everyone just goes bonkers. They should know, we are resilient by force, not by choice. When was the last time, did anyone showed some respect or even a two-minute silence for Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Azad, Sukhdev or any of the people because of whom we are free-living Indians? Respect is earned, given, and definitely not forced. Today, Mumbai shuts down due to fear, not due to respect."
Speaking to IANS, Shaheen said she did not deserve to be treated like this.
"I have apologised because I want peace and harmony. But this has been a nightmare. The treatment meted out to us was unfair," she said.
She agreed when asked if the matter was blown out of proportion.
"I know the entire episode happened because of my Facebook post, but that was just my opinion, my thought. It surely was different from others' thoughts. And hurting someone was not my intent. I apologise," she said.
Facebook is also sporting anti-Shaheen pages, one of which is titled 'Don't Support Shaheen Dadha'.
The page vehemently appeals to everyone that Shaheen should not be supported and that what she did was wrong.
"Such a big ruckus over my Facebook post should not have been created. This is unfair and uncalled for. I am not angry, but I surely aghast," she said.
Shaheen said that she does not know what the future entails, but for now she has sworn off all networking websites and would not register for one in the near future.
