Celebrated writer and poet of the country Javed Akhtar’s blunt comments in Pakistan on 26/11 terrorists “roaming free” in the country and the bitterness in the hearts of Indians have gone viral on social media.
This was when he was in Pakistan last week for a festival in Lahore in memory of legendary Urdu poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz.
While an interaction spoke about defusing tension between the two countries and said Pakistan couldn’t blame Indians for being angry.
He was responding to someone in the audience saying: “You have visited Pakistan so many times. When you go back do you tell your people that these are good people, they aren’t just bombing us but also greeting us with garlands and love?”
Javed Akhtar replied: “We should not blame each other. It will solve nothing. The atmosphere is tense, which should be doused. We are people from Mumbai, we have seen the attack on our city. They (attackers) did not come from Norway or Egypt. They are still roaming free in your country. So if there is anger in the Hindustani’s heart, you can’t complain.”
Actor Kangana Ranaut was among those who cheered Javed Akhtar for his remarks in Pakistan.
She further said, “When I listen to Javed Saab’s poetry, I wonder how blessed he is by Goddess Saraswati. But there must be something pure in the person for God to bless them. Jai Hind @Javedakhtarjadu saab. Ghar mein ghuss ke maara (you beat them in their own backyard),” Kangana Ranaut wrote.
