“RRS helps everyone in times of need and has compared them to the Taliban. He must apologize. It is very reprehensible that, despite being a very sensible person, Javed Akhtar has made this statement “, said several protesters in front of the house of the writer ‘Sholay’. Javed Akhtar would also have claimed that India is a secular nation, the population is largely secular, but that there are those who support organizations like the RSS and the VHP and have the same ideology as the Nazis of the 1930s.
Javed Akhtar is also embroiled in a legal battle with Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut. The lyricist has criticized the actress with a defamation case. Recently, the Bombay High Court adjourned the hearing of the defamation case and reserved its order on Kangana’s petition seeking to set aside the case.
