Noted lyricist Javed Akhtar said the recent Pahalgam terror attack was against the entire nation, not just the government. Speaking at NDTV's Creators' Manch, Akhtar welcomed the inclusion of opposition leaders like Shashi Tharoor and Asaduddin Owaisi in international outreach delegations. He emphasized that Pakistan should not be treated as a monolith, noting that many citizens there desire peace with India. He also said Pakistan’s army, not its civilian leadership, holds real power. Commenting on the Hania Amir row, Akhtar called for sensitivity and warned against retrospective censorship of films like Sardaar Ji 3 already shot before tensions escalated. (PC: NDTV)
