Javed Akhtar tweeted that, 'Some people not only refuse to face the fact but want to hide it from others too that Shaheed Bhagat Singh was a Marxist n  had written an article why l am an atheist . Any guess who are such people .I wonder if today he would have been around what they would have called him.'

'
