Pakistani Celebrities Condemn Javed Akhtar on his statements made in the 7th Faiz Festival, which was held in Lahore, the well-known Indian poet, lyricist, and playwright Javed Akhtar talked about how the terrorists who attacked Mumbai in 2008 “still walk free” in Pakistan.
The fact that Javed was invited to an event in his honour after he allegedly said something bad about Pakistan didn’t sit well with Pakistani celebrities. They questioned the “self-respect” of those Pakistanis who praised Javed so much despite his “insulting” comments about the country that invited him as a guest.

“From lit fest to slug fest. Mr. Javed Akhtar chose to ignore the fact that India has a systemic lack of tolerance. Your artists are afraid to work with us because they might get in trouble. So, sir, where is the real intolerance?”
From lit fest to slug fest. Mr Javed Akhtar so conveniently overlooked the systemic intolerance prevalent in India. Your artists shy away from working with us for fear of being persecuted? So where is the real intolerance happening, sir?

“It’s important to treat a guest with respect. But never at the expense of your own dignity. Some people were very eager to please by clinging to Javed Akhtar SB’s leg in admiration. Maybe he would stop talking so much if we treated him with the respect we have for ourselves. (or absence?)”
Giving respect to a guest is essential. But never at the cost of your own self respect. The way some were hanging off javed akhtar sb’s leg in admiration was a tad bit extra willingness to please. Maybe he’d be weary of his words if we’d shown him the dignity we have? (or lack?)

“Javed Saab can have as much fun as he wants in Pakistan, but I can’t stand it when he says that “India has given Pakistani artists a chance.” People who don’t know much say, “The artist went to India.” Even though it’s partly true, it has more to do with the way the business is set up.
Javed Saab can party all he can in Pakistan for all I care BUT I can't stand him suggesting "India has given Pakistani artists a chance" I hear ill-informed ppl here "Artist to India hee banata hai". While it's partially true BUT it has MORE TO DO WITH THE BUSINESS STRUCTURE….
