Farhan Akhtar's response to being called Pakistani is spot on

Even Bollywood is upset over the Dadri lynching case that took place in India; Dil Dhadakne Do actor Farhan Akhtar took to social media to express his outrage over the brutal incident.

The actor uploaded a status on Facebook condemning the case, calling it ‘twisted’ and critcising the way the situation was dealt with by authorities.

The killing of a 50-year-old Muslim man who was savagely beaten to death over rumours of having eaten and/or stored beef in his house, has left people in India and across the border questioning humanity when it comes to religious differences.

Akhtar was infuriated and stated how preposterous the whole situation was: “Reason: He was rumored to have stored and/or eaten beef. Let me repeat that. He was RUMORED to have stored and/or eaten beef.”

He asked his fellow fans and citizens to stand up against it lest it happen again:

“This is NOT the time to remain silent. What has happened once can surely happen again and unless we, the people, do not unite in demanding immediate action, this is going to turn into a circus with all the usual suspects having a go at each other, trying to score PR points,” he wrote.

While many agreed with his stance, one Indian called him “Pakistani Akhtar” on the actor’s Facebook fan page Farhan Akhtar LIVE. The comment read: “Yesterday you were crying so hard for Dadri case. Your brother has killed his kid for not wearing burqa while eating. Any words you Pakistani Akthar?”

Farhan Akhtar gave a slick response and snubbed the commenter. He said: “Yes. I hope he rots in jail… Which he will… and I hope you grow a brain. Which I doubt you will. But all the best.”

the speciality of farhan Akhtar like people is that they jump to express their opinion whether asked about or Not. But when Hindus are killed at the hands of Muslim like kashmir, they keep Mum and enjoy. They observe total silence untill you force them to Speak..

Celebrities should keep quit about these matters in my humble opinion.
It creates a cesspool of douchbaggery.

Remember Mawara Cocaine?!

every1 has the right to express their views.. and thats the way it shud be and they will be judged by that.. thats exactly what happened.. this is a world of social media and you are just asking for a very big community to just shut up,.. just becoz 1 childish girl earned some disgrace by making some stupid comments....

First of all celebrities are not a big part of community. They're elite people of elite club. Their fan base is big so they can't please anyone with their "opinions" so their statements makes a big fuzz & you get a chain reaction of douchbaggery from both sides.

& this is my opinion just like my previous comment. If you don't like it then move on. Everybody is entitled to his own opinion.

You nailed his hyper-activism perfectly however all sections of society already ( irrespective of religion) condemned the killing in harshest tone... Law must take its due course n bring the culprits to the book....
Their conspicuous silence is understood when others(non Muslim) are receiving end ...

Calling an Indian Muslim to go in Pakistan is height of stupidity.
However, in my views, Hindus are being maligned on world platform.
An example would be this news,

in which muslim mob beaten a hindu man to death for just blowing horn of bus, this news passed away silently but this case is being exaggerated like hell... SHAME ON INDIAN MEDIA

Because Hindus form the majority. People are more likely to speak up when someone from the minority is attacked.

That man was killed for a rumor of storing/consuming beef. Apparently, it was enough for hindu terrorists to kill him.

No matter what you say it wont justify buddy. An innocent life was lost for no wrong of his.

Care to quote some examples where muslims in India killed hindus for wating veges or other such meagre issues
