Imran Khan has thrown a no ball: Javed Akhtar slams Pakistan PM after he denies country's role in Pulwama terror attack

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, on Tuesday, denied his country's involvement in the recent Pulwama terror attack in India-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. In a pre-recorded message, Imran Khan stated, “This is a New Pakistan… we want stability. We do not benefit by attacking India. It is in our interest that nobody from our soil spreads violence. I want to tell Indian govt that we will take action if evidence is found against anyone from Pakistan.”

“If you have any actionable intelligence that a Pakistani is involved. Give it to us. I guarantee you we will take action – not because we are under pressure, but because they are acting as enemies of Pakistan,” he continued.

Noted Bollywood lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar took to his Twitter page on Tuesday and bashed Imran Khan for his statement.

He tweeted, "Imran has thrown a no ball. Every time they ask what makes you think its our doing . After the mumbai terrorist attack a pak TV anchor asked me why you are so sure it is Pakistan it can be any  country I said fine I will give you 3  you choose one .Brazil , Sweden and Pakistan"

In the video, Pakistan PM also said, "All this 'attack Pakistan' talk is all keeping elections in mind. But if at all these are serious, please make note of one thing clearly - Pakistan will not think of retaliating, it will retaliate. There will be no other option left with Pakistan."

Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi had earlier declined the invitation to a two-day literary event in Pakistan organized by the Karachi Arts Council in the wake of Pulwama attack.
