On the relationship between India and Pakistan, went on to say that it feels like this is the worst phase because it is a fresh wound, but there have been others before.

The Army is Pakistan’s real power centre
Many in Pakistan desire friendship with India, but the government and army oppose it, the lyricist. He also went on to mention on the row over Diljit Dosanjh’s movie ‘Sardaar Ji 3′
Members of the opposition being part of the outreach delegations to various countries following Operation Sindoor is a welcome step because the Pahalgam terror attack was not carried out on the government, but India as a whole. noted lyricist and scriptwriter Javed Akhtar has said.
In an over 30-minute discussion at NDTV’s Creators’ Manch on Friday, Javed Akhtar also spoke about where the real power centre in Pakistan lies and the row over the casting of Pakistani actor Hania Amir in Diljit Dosanjh’s film ‘Sardaar Ji 3′.
When asked if including leaders like the Congress’ Shashi Tharoor and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi in the outreach delegations was a calculated move by the government, the lyricist responded in Hindi,saying that the “The Pahalgam terror attack was not on the government, it was an attack on the country. So everyone in the country will go. Among the people (who were part of the delegations) are some who keep attacking the government. But when it comes to the country, we are all one… the other issues are internal ones and we will keep talking about them internally.
Akhtar aldo went on to assert that Tharoor is very articulate and he was happy the Congress leader led one of the delegations, because he has diplomatic experience at the United Nations.
“This is an issue that concerns the country, and that’s when everyone is one. That is how it should be. This is not about a political part.
On the bond.amid between India and Pakistan feels like this is the worst phase because it is a fresh wound, pl out that the 1965 war and the Kargil war had also happened.
“Each time, the government in Pakistan tries to wash its hands of what’s happening and claims it wasn’t involved. In 1948, they said tribals had entered Kashmir; during the Kargil war, they said they did not know who had gone there. Liimilarly, in Pahalgam, they said they did not know anything about the attack.
The lyricist stressed, however, that no country is a monolith and crores of people in Pakistan want friendship with India, but this does not suit the country’s government, army and right wing.
