The issue arose after Sonam shared post from an English daily about the shooting that took place near Jamia.
"This is something that I never imagined would happen in India. Stop this divisive dangerous politics. It fuels HATE. If you believe yourself to be a Hindu then understand that the religion is about Karma and dharma and this is not either of those."
Responding to her tweet a journalist commented: "Yes, you raise your voice very intensely. Please tell the country whether your father's picture with terrorist Dawood is related to his karma or his religion?"
She was then questioned about her father, actor Anil Kapoor's links with mafia don Dawood Ibrahim.
The journalist taunted the actress saying since she was generally vocal about opinions on everything, she should also tell the country about the photo of her dad and Dawood together.
The journalist asked whether that relationship was based on 'Karma' or 'Dharma'.
Sonam replied: "He (Anil Kapoor) went to a cricket match with Raj Kapoor and Krishna Kapoor. And was in a box to see it. I think you need to stop pointing fingers and there are three that point back at you. I hope Lord Ram can forgive you for being evil and spreading violence."
