Popular lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar on Tuesday, 20 August, slammed Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan after he put up a tweet saying that the Modi government was a threat to India’s minorities.

Akhtar wrote, “Imran has thrown a no ball. Every time they (Pakistan) ask what makes you think its our doing. After the mumbai terrorist attack a pak TV anchor asked me why you are so sure it is Pakistan, it can be any country. I said fine, I will give you 3, you choose one: Brazil, Sweden and Pakistan [sic].”

Imran Khan, in his tweet, had written, “The Hindu Supremacist Modi Govt poses a threat to Pakistan as well as to the minorities in India and in fact to the very fabric of Nehru and Gandhi's India.
