Javed Akhtar's Blunt Comments In Pakistan On 26/11 Terrorists "Roaming Free" In The Country Goes Viral

Javed Akhtar visited Pakistan last week for a festival in Lahore in memory of legendary Urdu poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz.

Akhtar said that the 26/11 attackers are "still roaming free" and talked about "resentment in the hearts of Indians".

The celebrated writer and poet also talked about defusing tension between the two countries.

The three-day festival which attracted a large audience from all walks of life at Lahore’s Alhamra Arts Council, was hosted by Adil Hashmi, the grandson of poet Faiz.

A video from the festival also showed actor-singer Ali Zafar performing songs for Javed Akhtar.
