Javed Akhtar at his best, trolls Tripura CM and his trollers with a single tweet!

Indian script writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar is a man of his words, it’s what he’s good at after all. Recently, he took a dig at Tripura CM Biplab Kumar Deb, who in an interview had stated that India had television and internet in the age of Mahabharata.

Javed being himself, did not take a direct hit at Deb but rather gave a fitting message in the garb of sarcasm. He first questioned,"Why are people making fun of the CM of Tripura for claiming that there was internet in Mahabharata times” and added "They should look at their own religious beliefs with the same objectivity. Any religious belief in the world is only as logical and reasonable as the beliefs of this man.”

This is his tweet:

Javed’s tweet soon picked up on social media with many agreeing with his statement.

Javed was also in news recently for defending Bollywood star Aamir Khan when it was announced that he would portray a Hindu God in his dream project, a film based on an epic tale of 'Mahabharata'.

He also took to Twitter to criticise Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi when he commented on Kashmir and India's hold on the state. Javed minced no words in telling Shahid to first stop terrorist infiltrations from his home country so that India can focus on maintaining peace in the northernmost state.

This is what he tweeted:

The industry’s noted poet cum lyricist is known for being vocal about his stances and voicing his concerns over growing intolerance in the country. He has often been seen siding with rational opinions while keeping a neutral approach to issues.
