<p>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.&nbsp;</p>

<p>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.”</p>
