India’s famous poet, actor, screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar’s attempt to please Modi by sitting in Pakistan proved costly.
When Javed Akhtar criticized Pakistan for never inviting Lata Mangeshkar to participate in the Faiz Mela and for being involved in the Mumbai attacks, Pakistanis have reacted strongly, while his opponents in India like Kangnarnawat also praised him. However, the courage of Pakistanis is also being appreciated.

In the question and answer session during the Faiz Mela held in Lahore last week, Javed Akhtar said in response to a question that “I will not act with difficulty here, we have done big functions of Mehdi Hasan, big functions of Nusrat.” Yes, Lata Mangeshkar did not have any function in your country”.
He further said, “This is the truth, but let’s go!” Don’t blame each other because that won’t solve the issue, but the important thing is that the atmosphere that is so hot these days should be less, we are people of Bombay, we saw how our city was attacked. , those people did not come from Norway, nor did they come from Egypt, those people are still roaming in your country, so if this complaint is in the heart of an Indian, then you should not consider it bad”.

On the comments of Javed Akhtar, there has been a reaction in the Pakistani social media and the name of Javed Akhtar is included in the top trends on Twitter, but the opponents in India are also giving these praises while the courage of the Pakistanis is also being appreciated.
Actor Ejaz Aslam expressed his anger on Javed Akhtar’s comment and wrote in his tweet, “Javed Akhtar sir, will you shed some light on the Kashmir issue?” If you hate Pakistan so much, you should not have come, we still let you go back safely and this is the answer to your nonsense”.

Actress Mishi Khan wrote in her tweet that “Javed Akhtar Sahib has come to Pakistan to participate in Faiz Mela and today he was openly disrespecting us by saying that Mumbai attackers are roaming freely, his mind was examined.” Needed because the attackers were hanged, shame on those who were applauding. You fools, do you have self-respect?
For those applauding Javed Akhtar for “showing us the mirror”. Bhai applause tab banta hai jab uss ainay mein aap India ka asal chehra bhee bayaan karo. Waisay selective criticism na kee hoti to Pakistani to phir aap ko applaud kartay but India taliyan aap kay gaal say bajata! 🤷🏻♂️

Actor Haroon Shahid wrote that “I request to those who clapped for Javed Akhtar for showing us a mirror that you should have clapped when you had also described the real face of India in that mirror. If you had not criticized one-sidedly, you would still be a Pakistani.” You would have clapped for him, but India would have clapped with your cheek.
Javed Akhar is an affected Indian Muslim trying hard to be more Indian and less Muslim.
I respect the ethic. I respect the writing. But the man needs a plan.
This was us, 15 years ago, when I was on assignment in India.
This was sad and embarrassinghttps://t.co/jP6WJBN0b6

شکایت کرنے کے بعد کہہ رہے ہیں الزام مت دیں؟
سب جانتے ہیں کس طرح پاکستانی اداکاروں کو ہندوستان سے بھگایا گیا۔
اور آج بھی شاہ رُخ خان کو دیش بھکت نہیں مانا جاتا۔
مگر ہم پاکستانی پھر بھی آپکی عزت کریں گے @Javedakhtarjadu صاحب۔
اسے ظرف کہتے ہیں۔

Journalist and screenwriter Mehwish Ejaz wrote in his tweet that “After complaining, you are saying don’t blame?” Everyone knows how Pakistani actors were chased away from India. And even today, Shah Rukh Khan is not considered a patriot. But we Pakistanis will still respect you, Javed Akhtar Sahib calls it “Zarf”.
A user shared a photo of former Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Mahmood Kasuri throwing ink on Indian politician Sudhandar Kulkarni during his visit to India and wrote, “Javed Akhtar! If the octogenarians were roaming freely in Pakistan, they would have done to you what your terrorists did to Kulkarni in Mumbai in 2015.”
