‘Absurd’: Javed Akhtar on claims that Faiz’s ‘Hum Dekhenge’ is anti-Hindu

Lyricist Javed Akhtar spoke on Faiz Ahmed Faiz's 'anti-Hindu' poem row. “Calling Faiz's peom 'anti-Hindu' is so absurd and funny,” Akhtar said. Meanwhile, IIT Kanpur has formed a panel to decide if 'Hum Dekhenge' is 'anti-Hindu'. 'Hum Bhi Dekhenge' is a famous composition by Faiz Ahmed Faiz. The panel has been set up following complaint filed by a faculty member who claimed that the song has 'anti-Hindu' context. IIT-Kanpur students sang 'Hum Dekhenge' during a protest in support of Jamia Millia Islamia students.
