Pakistan never organized a function for Lata Mangeshkar

Javed Akhtar added, ‘We hosted big functions of Pakistani singers Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Mehndi Hasan; but in your country, not a single programme of Lata Mangeshkar was held.’ This statement brought cheers and claps from the gathering.

Editorial viewpoint

• Congratulations to Javed Akhtar on slamming Pakistan in their own country !
• This is unlikely to have any impact on the stubborn Pakistan. However, if a so-called secular Muslim from India goes to Pakistan and hits out at it, then it is commendable !
