Javed Akhtar says harassing Kashmiris after Pahalgam attack 'confirms Pakistan's propaganda'
Writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar has addressed the Pahalgam terror attack and slammed Pakistan's alleged complicity in the same. The writer also criticised the attacks on Kashmiris post the attack and said that those who were doing this were playing into 'Pakistan's propaganda'.
Speaking at a FICCI event in Delhi, Javed Akhtar addressed the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam last week where armed gunmen killed 26 tourists. Talking about the tensions with Pakistan, Javed said, "Every government in this country, whether it's the Congress or the BJP, has tried to establish peace. Even Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji went to Pakistan. But what did they do? They washed the place he visited. Is that what they call friendship? How are we supposed to talk to Pakistan when they didn't even accept the dead bodies of their own soldiers from the Kargil war?"
