Lyricist Javed Akhtar and writer Tariq Fateh got into a heated argument on Twitter. It started with a tweet by Fateh. In which he wrote, quoting another writer-thinker Sanu Sankrant, “India is the only civilization in the world, where systematically you are taught to hate your culture and heritage and glorify such people who were robbers… had come to destroy it”. Commenting on this tweet of Tariq Fateh, Javed Akhtar said that can you call every white in North America an infiltrator?
Javed Akhtar further wrote, ‘Akbar was an Indian but not your father, who thought it appropriate to migrate and settle in Pakistan. A person like you who spent 11 years in Saudi Arabia is teaching us the lesson of secularism… Shut up. Responding to this, Tarif Fateh wrote, “Islamic invaders and looters of India will have to go down the gutter to argue with you.”
Javed Akhtar said – I will not sit silent now: Javed Akhtar got furious on the reply of Tariq Fateh. He wrote in the next tweet, ‘Tariq Fateh, I am not going to reply to every tweet of all your illiterate, goth supporters but whenever you are born in Pakistan and a fake citizen of Canada will try to spread poison in my country through Twitter. …will give a good answer. It’s enough now.
