Twitterati took jibes at Javed Akhtar’s tweet to Kiran Rijiju, but got it right back with a vengeance

Contradicting his views, lyricist Javed Akhtar slammed him, saying: “I don’t about her but Mr Minister I know who is polluting your mind.” The songwriter added, “If a hardly literate player or a wrestler troll a pacifist daughter of a martyr its understandable but whats wrong with some educated folks. Mr Minister, you have condemned the left by falsely accusing them for celebrating soldiers killing n not a word about AVBP. Grossly biased.”
