Javed Akhtar’s Remark on Muslims
“Don’t become like Muslims, make them become like you [Hindus]” – Javed Akhtar acclaimed lyricist & scriptwriter is so far gone on his idea of “India” – without realising his concept of a syncretic pluralist country lies buried beneath the boot strings of the BJP/RSS collusion. pic.twitter.com/T6hqSxCBMJ

Lucky Ali Reacts
Javed Akhtar tells Hindus, “Don’t become like Muslims. Make them like you. Don’t become like Muslims. It’s a tragedy.”
West Bengal Urdu Academy was right in withdrawing its invitation to this shameless bigot masquerading as a wise man.
