Ali Zafar criticizes Javed Akhtar’s views against Pakistan

• Ali Zafar has slammed Javed Akhtar’s speech at the Faiz Mela, calling it “insensitive”.
• Asking people to verify facts before making any conclusions.
• Ali took to his Instagram Stories and said that Javed Akhtar’s remarks could ‘deeply hurt the sentiments’ of people.

Ali Zafar, a Pakistani actor who has acted in multiple Bollywood productions, has criticized Javed Akhtar for his widely shared remarks at the Faiz Mela in Pakistan. While Ali Zafar has criticized Javed’s speech as “insensitive,” Javed is being praised in India for saying that the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack conspirators are still “roaming freely” in Pakistan.
Javed Akhtar’s comments, according to Ali, could ‘seriously hurt the sensibilities’ of some. Ali made this statement on his Instagram Stories. Folks, I love you all and sincerely cherish both your praise and criticism, he wrote in his letter. Nonetheless, I always ask that you confirm the facts before drawing any conclusions or passing judgment. Not until the following day, when I saw it on television, did I learn about what was stated at the Faiz Mela.

“I am a proud Pakistani and naturally no Pakistani would appreciate any statement against its country or people specially at an event meant to bring hearts closer than further. We all know how much Pakistan has suffered and continue to suffer at the hands of terrorism and such insensitive and uncalled for remarks can deeply hurt the sentiments of so many people.”

Ali Fazal had before tweeted about having Javed Akhtar over for a party. He had shared a video with the comment, “It was an honor to host him. I’ve always thought that the best way to unite people is via the transcendence of art and music. The only path to peace is love. We are grateful that @Javedakhtarjadu sahab could join us. I appreciate you keeping us linked, Faiz sahab.

However, following his remarks at the Faiz Mela, many of Ali’s fellow Pakistanis criticized him and his family for inviting Javed Akhtar to the party. “Not everyone, but some utilize such times to attack and exploit too,” he added in another Instagram Story. It was rather funny when people who were posing as heroes and patriots on social media messaged me behind my back to complain about not being invited. Here, hypocrisy is at its height as well. Beware.”

Bollywood movies like Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Chashme Baddoor, and Dear Zindagi include Ali Fazal as an actor. He can sing as well.
