Javed Akhtar’s comment: Actress Resham criticized remarks regarding terrorism made by Indian poet and lyricist Javed Akhtar last weekend at the Faiz Festival. The remarks were emphasized in a social media video that went viral on Monday.
In a festival video, he is seen making distinctions between how India handles Pakistani artists and vice versa and blaming Pakistani “terrorists” for the 2008 Mumbai attack. The actor reiterated her affection for Pakistan, claiming she was unaware of his comments.
She addressed the situation in a story on Instagram on Wednesday. “I love my nation more than anything else. She wrote I had no idea what Javed Akhtar sahab had stated during the Faiz Festival discussion concerning my nation. “I denounce his remarks. We treat guests with extra consideration because it is customary for us to do so, but Pakistan is more valuable to us than our hearts and lives.
Akhtar claimed in the now-viral video that Pakistan did not reciprocate when India honoured late great artists from that country. “I won’t accept formality; we organised sizable events for Nusrat [Fateh Ali Khan] and Mehdi Hassan, but Lata Mangeshkar didn’t have a party in your nation.”
The truth is that blaming one another won’t solve anything, he said. The region’s tensions must be lowered. We are from Mumbai, and we witnessed the assault on our city. They weren’t natives of Norway, were they? Neither did they originate in Egypt. They are still at large in your nation. You shouldn’t be offended if a Hindustani has these complaints on their mind.
Akhtar led the Indian group that travelled to Pakistan last week to attend the Faiz Festival in Lahore.
