Part-time Lyricist and full-time history twister Javed Akhtar has once again stirred the cauldron of controversy. After a Twitter user called out Javed Akhtar’s father-in-law and poet Kaifi Azami for celebrating the creation of Pakistan, the latter, up in arms about the statement peddled lies and created online clamour.
The Twitter user named Tattvam Asi wanted to fix the accountability of pseudo seculars of Bollywood as he tweeted, “The so-called patriots from Bollywood have a lot to answer actually for the sins of their father, grandfather or great grandfathers. We can start with Kaifi Azmi, father of Shabana Azmi. He wrote poems celebrating the creation of Pakistan. #Naseer #ShabanaAzmi”
The so called patriots from Bollywood have lot to answer actually for the sins of their father, grandfather or great grandfathers.
We can start with Kaifi azmi, father of Shabana Azmi. He wrote poems celebrating the creation of Pakistan.#Naseer #ShabanaAzmi— Tattvam Asi ( तत् त्वं असि!) (@Brahamvakya) January 1, 2022
However, claiming that his father-in-law was a hardcore patriot who contributed to Bangladesh’s freedom struggle through poetry, Akhtar tweeted, “Bigot, shame on you! You have blatantly lied against Kaifi Azmi who was a hard-core patriot and a secularist. he had the guts to go to Bangladesh along with Pritish Nandi while the war was on. Read his poem glorifying Bangladeshi struggle for freedom from Pak army.”

Riots will ensue: Kaifi Azmi in his poem if Somnath Mandir was rebuilt
However, Akhtar’s web of lies was promptly destroyed by the true intellectuals of the social media platform. True Indology now with the handle name ‘Bharadwaj’ shared a poem penned by Kaifi Azami which exposed the lies of Javed Akhtar.
Bhardwaj tweeted, “Secularist? Patriot? Your father-in-law Kaifi Azmi wrote poems supporting creation of Pakistan. After Partition, he stayed back. When Somnath temple was rebuilt by Sardar Patel, he wrote a poem threatening that there would be riots which bring the End Of World (क़यामत होगी)”

As for Kafi’s thoughts on the partition, the Twitter user kept coming firmly for Akhtar, “Kaifi Azmi was a proponent of partition and wrote a poem just before Partition ” अगली ईद पाकिस्तान में” (Next Eid in Pakistan). What a pity, went and came back within a few days. Stayed here and now his children give us gyan on how much their parents loved India, didn’t go”
Somnath Temple – a holy place for the Hindus
It is pertinent to note that Somnath Temple is among the most important and revered religious sites for Hindus, as it houses the Somnath jyotirlinga. This temple in Gujarat has remained an eyesore for Islamic invaders who plundered, looted, and violently attacked India.
The Somnath temple was destroyed no less than 12 times, but the sheer grit and determination of devotees have led, to the temple being built from scratch every time. The likes of Kaifi Azami, despite staying back in India could not see the mandir being rebuilt and thus penned such vitriol filled poems.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Somnath Temple is being further developed and beautified. Prime Minister Modi is personally attached to developmental and rejuvenation efforts being made in Ayodhya, Varanasi and in Uttarakhand – where the Char Dham highway is being built at a cost of ₹12,000 crores to connect Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri.

Akhtar is a staunch, bigoted and a closeted radical Islamist. His statements have once again exposed him and his family. Trying to wear the cloak of secularism, Akhtar attempts to fit into the normal but his true allegiances lie with the ummah.
