Javed schools trolls for communal remarks on his X post: What do you know about love for nation
New Delhi: Renowned screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar has slammed trolls for making communal remarks on his X post praising Virat Kohli after India's win at a cricket match against Pakistan.
India's team won against Pakistan in ICC Champions Trophy 2025 by six-wicket on Sunday.
Akhtar shared a post on his X handle lauding Kohli, who scored his 82nd century during the match. "Virat Kohli, zindabad !!! We all are so so so proud of you," he wrote.
However, things took a turn when some users left comments questioning Akhtar's happiness at India's win.
Replying to a random user, who claimed Kohli was bigger than Babar, Akhtar said, "Maen to sirf yeh kahoonga ke tum eik neech insaan ho aur neech hi marogay. Tum kya jano desh prem kya hota hai (I will only say that you are a despicable person and will die this way. What do you know about the love for the nation)."
When another user claimed that Akhtar must be unhappy with India's win, the lyricist-writer shot back, "Beta jab tumhare baap dada angrez ke jootay chaat rahe thay tab mere aazadi ke liye jai aur kala paani mein thay. Meri ragon mein desh premion ka khoon hai aur tumhari ragon mein angrez ke naukaron ka khoon hai. Iss anter ko bhoolo nahin (Son, when your father and grandfather were licking the boots of the Britishers, mine were in jail for fighting for India's independence. I have the blood of patriots in my veins, you have the blood of British servants in your veins. Don't forget the difference)."
Many supported Akhtar in the comment section and asked to ignore such mean comments.
Despite identifying as an atheist, Akhtar is often subjected to similar comments on social media.
Maen to sirf yeh kahoonga ke tum eik neech insaan ho aur neech hi marogay . Tum kya jano desh prem kya hota hai .

Kerala court sentences 20-year-old man in minor girl rape case
Kollam (Kerala) (PTI): A Kerala court has sentenced a 20-year-old man to 21 years of imprisonment for raping a minor girl after befriending her on a social media app.
Karunagappally Fast Track Special Court judge Rajeevan Vachal sentenced the convict to 21 years under the relevant provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, special public prosecutor (SPP) N C Premchandran said.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 1.1 lakh on the convict, the prosecutor said.
The incident occurred in 2024 when the accused befriended her on a social media app and then offered to take her to the Azheekal beach here.
However, instead of taking her to the beach, he took her to an isolated place behind the CHC hospital at Mynagappally here and raped her, the SPP said.
Following the incident, the girl attempted suicide, but was saved and then told the doctors what had happened, the prosecutor said.
The hospital authorities informed the police, who registered a case and launched an investigation.
The prosecutor said that seven witnesses were examined and 20 documents were submitted before the court to substantiate the guilt of the accused.
