Javed Akhtar Denies Viral Message Criticizing CJP and Abhijeet Dipke
Javed Akhtar has denied a viral social media message falsely attributing criticism of Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke and the party to him. The fabricated post claimed Dipke was a 'puppet' of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and accused CJP of an anti-BJP agenda. Akhtar clarified on X that he never made such remarks and expressed surprise that opponents of Dipke and CJP used his name to lend credibility to these claims.
