Jaipur/Mumbai: Irrfan's remark questioning sacrifice of animals during Eid-uz-Zoha has invited sharp reaction from Muslim clerics, who have asked the actor to focus on his work, but the star says he is not scared of them as he does not live in a country governed by religious contractors.

Clerics don't scare me !! Thank God I don't live in a country governed by religious contractors (thekedars ) #FREEDOM

"Please Bhaiyon, who are upset with my statement, either you are not ready to introspect or you are in a hurry to reach to a conclusion," Irrfan tweeted.
