Javed Akhtar : I differ on your views on 1 lakh award given by Modi to Munaf and Yusuf

Recently Indian team won Cricket World Cup 2011 which was a proud moment for all of us. After winning most of the states declared 1 crore or 2 crore prize money to cricketers. Fine its their decision, but whats disturbing is that some of the states diverted money from other sports or diverted money meant for some other purpose. I strongly object to it. I don't think our cricketers are in need of money, so diverting money meant for some other purpose is totally un-ethical. And giving honor is more important than CASH AWARDS.

Now where does Javed Akhtar figure here, well he is a so called few of the learned minds from Muslim community who are against fundamentalists, and I respect him for that. But Mr Javed bhai, don't you think your criticism of Mr Modi was totally un-warrranted and appeared to be biased ? and you clearly showed that you too have a grudge against him.. I have never seen a grudge like this for congress (Sikh riots).. or a grudge against those killed in Godhra which was directly responsible for Gujrat riots...Please please please don't involve RELIGION while you make comments..

so what exactly did he say against Modi...This is what he tweeted.

"All state are rewarding their world cup winners by atleast 1 crore but the rich Gujarat is giving 1 lakh each to Pathan and Patel. Great"

The above tweet wanted to score a point against Modi.. Mr Javed I know you won't be able to answer these questions.. (because you un-necessarily brought religion in your mind while tweeting)

1) Had there been a hindu, Modi would have still given 1 lakh award, but then Mr Javed you could not have tweeted to score a point. My request, don't use anything to criticize Modi.

2) Modi has given highest state award (Eklavya Award) to them (its similar to getting BHARAT RATNA from India), but for you money is more important than the honor, I dont think its a good thing. And moreover why do you expect a state to change rules just to award cricketers, don't other sports person deserve a crore award.. but then you don't get a point to score against Modi...

Javed bhai, i respected you a lot and thought you are different, but it shows you have a biased mind against Mr Modi, if riots are the reason, then have biased mind against ALL but don't be selective.

Javed Bhai, you should have praised Modi for giving highest state award to them, and not falling on the bandwagon of announcing money rewards blindly with no similar considerations for other sports persons. But you too have succumbed to religious thinking..
