Mumbai: The day after Shiv Sena slams Javed Akhtar’s lyrics for his comments, allegedly compare Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) with the Taliban, Akhtar wrote a piece of opinion in Saamna, Sena Circle.
Akhtar, in his article, said ‘Hinduism is the most feasible majority and tolerant in the world.
Akhtar said India would never be able to become Afghanistan because naturally not fundamentalists.
Last week, Sena was in his editorial in ‘Saamana’, dealing, “there will be a difference in connection with the sangh …
but …” Slamming Akhtar and said “Connecting the Hindutva with the Taliban is not polite for Hindu culture.” “In my last interview, I said Hindus were the most decent and tolerant majorities in the world.
I also emphasized that India could never be like Afghanistan because Indians were basically not extremists.
It was in their DNA to be moderate, in the middle of the road , “Akhtar wrote.
Akhtar told those who hit him angry because they found the similarity between the Taliban mindset and Hindu Wing.
“While the Taliban forms an Islamic government based on religion, Hindu wing wants Rashtra Hindu.
Taliban wants to curb women’s rights.
The right wings here have also explained that they do not like women’s freedom,” Akhtar wrote.
Akhtar, however, all praise for CM Uddhav Thackeray.
“Not the worst of critics can accuse him (Uddhav Thackeray) of any discrimination or injustice.
It is beyond my understanding of how and why anyone can call the government ‘Talibani’ Uddhav Thackeray, said Akhtar.
