I told him how our country respects to their artists, be it Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan or Ghulam Ali.Indians have given a lot of love to everyone, events have been organized for them.But Lata Mangeshkar was never invited to Pakistan because that is their policy here.

Javed Akhtar had said, “We should not blame each other. This will not solve the problems. We were attacked. We are people from Bombay. We have seen how there was an attack. Didn’t those people come from Norway?” from Egypt, those people are still roaming your country. So if this complaint is in the heart of an Indian, then you should not feel bad. They are still present in your country, so if any Indian complains about this, if he does, you should not be angry.
Tell them that Javed Akhtar had recently arrived in Pakistan to attend a function organized in memory of the famous Urdu poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz.
