On Gudi Padwa, the chief of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), Raj Thackeray, organized a rally in Mumbai called Padwa Melava. He thanked lyricist and author Javed Akhtar for his remarks about the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks while addressing the crowd at a rally in Pakistan on Wednesday. The rally was held at Dadar’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Park. Raj Thackeray stated in his speech, “I want people like Javed Akhtar and many more.” I want Muslims from India to speak out against Pakistan and assert our power. That’s what Javed Akhtar does, and I want Muslims to act like him.

Other people, including Kangana Ranaut and Raj Thackeray, have praised Javed Akhtar for speaking his mind. Javed went to a festival in Lahore that honored the writer Faiz Ahmed Faiz. There, he was informed that Indians believe that all Pakistanis are terrorists. He responded sharply, stating that the 26/11 Mumbai terrorists continue to roam Pakistan freely.

“The attackers weren’t from Norway or Egypt,” he stated. If an Indian complains about this, you shouldn’t be offended because they are still present in your country. He also said that Pakistan has never hosted singer Lata Mangeshkar, despite the fact that India has hosted a number of Pakistani artists in the past.

Discussing it later, Javed reflected upon the responses from individuals to his remarks. He stated, “It became too big, it feels embarrassing, feel like I should not go (for such events)” during an ABP event. As if I had won the third world war, I said, “Yaha, to laga pata nahi third World War jeet ke aya hoon.” There are so many responses from the public and the media. I was humiliated, isa keh diya? We have to say as much, should we just shut up? “Itni baat to kehni padegi, chup rahein kya

When inquired as to whether he was terrified to express his genuine thoughts against the country in Lahore, at an occasion being held in a corridor loaded with Pakistani individuals, Javed said, “Is tarah ki baatein, jo dubious hain…jis mulk pe paida tint, jeete hain aur marenge waha karte rehte hain to dusre mulk me truly do commotion jana waha kya dar tha? Jab yaha nahi darte to waha kya darenge (I make such controversial remarks in the nation where I was born and will die; why would I be afraid in a nation I was only visiting for two days?). Why would I be afraid there if I’m not afraid here?
