A complaint has been filed against lyricist Javed Akhtar for his comments on the FIRs registered against suspended AAP corporator Tahir Hussain during the Delhi riots. The complaint was lodged at the Bihar court on Wednesday by Amit Kumar, a local advocate.
According to media reports, the complainant alleged Akhtar’s remarks were seditious and promoted religious hatred. It was on 27th February, Javed Akhtar took to his official social media handle and wrote, “So many killed, so many injured, so many houses burned, so many shops looted so many people turned destitute but police have sealed only one house and looking for his owner. Incidentally, his name is Tahir. Hats off to the consistency of the Delhi police."

In another tweet responding to a user, Javed made his stance pretty clear, he said he is not asking why, but why only Tahir.
He wrote, "So convenient to misunderstand me. I am not asking why Tahir I am asking why ONLY Tahir. Why not even an FIR against those who have openly threatened violence in the presence of the police. Even the HC has reservations about the role police has played in this orgy of violence." Here it is -
