Javed Akhtar issues clarification on fake post

Veteran screenwriter and former Rajya Sabha MP Javed Akhtar on Monday took to X to deny a message circulating on social media claiming that he had criticised CJP and targeted its founder Abhijeet Dipke. Taking to X, he wrote, “I Javed Akhtar want to tell everyone that the fake message on the social media that I have criticised CJP and run down Abhijeet Dipke is as fake as fake can be. I am surprised that those who are opposing Dipke and CJP need to borrow credibility from someone like me!! Yeh Haalut hogayee hai??? Sad.”
