The attackers were neither from Norway nor Eypgt. Those attackers are still roaming around your country. Therefore, if an Indian has any grievance in their heart, you should not be offended," Geo News reported.As the video went viral, numerous Pakistani celebrities spoke up about the accusation and condemned the implications.Arsalan Naseer, a YouTube content creator and actor, too condemned this statement, saying in his trademark cheeky way: "How can you say something like that sitting in a hall full of Pakistanis?""Maybe India should make a movie on him now, titled 'jaanbaz likhaari (fealess writer)."A Twitter user echoed this sentiment, saying: "Who should be held accountable for disgracing Faiz Festival? Hosts? The no so honourable Guest or the audience? I'm actually disappointed by the audience who applauded for him."Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP) leader Sharmila Faruqui too berated Akhtar for his "controversial" remarks, adding that the songwriter should be been asked to return, Geo News reported.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
