In the past, 49 celebrities, including director Anurag Kashyap and Aparna Sen, had written an open letter to PM Narendra Modi urging him to enact a strict law against mob lynching, and a recent tweet by film director Shekhar Kapoor.
Kapoor wrote, "I started my life as a refugee of division. The parents made a lot of efforts to give the children a good life. I've always been afraid of 'intellectuals' and they've always made me feel trivial and small. But after my films, he has been very impressed with me and I am still afraid of him. Their admitting me is like a snake bite. I'm still a refugee. "
Shekhar's tweet has angered lyricist Javed Akhtar and has expressed his displeasure on Twitter. What it still means to be a refugee," he wrote. Do you think you are an Indian but not an outside person? Do you think it is not your homeland? If you feel like having a refugee in India, then will you feel right in Pakistan? Don't do all these dramas, the poor, the rich but the lonely man. Javed Akhtar tweeted another.
In the next tweet, Javed wrote, "Who are these intellectuals who hugged you and you felt like a snake to do them. Shyam Benegal, Adoor Gopal Krishna, Ram Chandra Guha? Is it really so? Shekhar sir you don't look right. You need a little help. There should be no shame in going to a cyclist."
