Akhtar recently got into a spat with a netizen over his ‘rant’ against Israel. Often being criticised by internet users for his controversial tweets and social commentary, the 79-year-old had lashed out at Israel for justifying their “round-the-clock bombing on helpless civilians of Gaza” by referring to the horrifying bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Replying to the tweet, a netizen has said, “They are not innocent civilians as it is portrayed, fact remains they are bloody terrorist sympathisers & give shalter to them.” ALSO READ: Yaha Iss Kaam K Liye Nahi Aya Hoon: Javed Akhtar Gets ANGRY At Reporter Over Question On His Viral Kanwar Yatra Tweet - WATCH VIDEO
Calling out the netizen, the veteran wrote, “I have always condemned all kind of terrorism . Mob terrorism , bomb terrorism , state terrorism . But you will choose not to understand me Avinash because you are a pathetic nobody who is trying to find an identity by becoming a bigot.”
