Javed Akhtar responds to the question "Are Shia, Sunni different religions?”
Is that clear enough Arnabji or the nation still
Mumbai: Irked by a social media user who asked him if Shia and Sunni were different religions, veteran writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar on Thursday said all kinds of religious people were "equally unreasonable".
He made the comment as part of a chain of tweets after the social media user asked Akhtar: "Is Shia and Sunni different religions Javed Akhtar? #JustAsking."
The celebrated writer, who is quite vocal about his views on socio-political issues, said: "Your question about Shia and Sunni reminds me of a very famous dialogue from a film 'Gone With The Wind'. And it was, 'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn'."
Journalist Arnab Goswami joined the conversation by questioning Akhtar: "But where is the answer!"
Akhtar wrote: "It is for them to decide whether they are from the same religion or not. Doesn't interest me. So what if they are and so what if they are not. I believe all kind of religious people are equally unreasonable. Is that clear enough Arnabji or the nation still wants to know something."
