Mumbai, July 24: It seems that Veteran Lyricist Javed Akhtar is annoyed with the poetic speeches of our beloved lawmakers. Irked with the presentation of some political leaders during the 12-hour-long debate in Lok Sabha, the ace Lyricist urged political class to refrain from misquoting poetic references.

A former MP broke his silence on Twitter said, “With folded hands and utmost humility I want to request the MPS of all the parties in the Lok Sabha to at least have some mercy on poetry Without any exception, Each and every couplet recited during the 12-hour session was either wrongly worded, out of meter or mispronounced,”

On Friday, during the debate on a no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government, several leaders used poetic references to counter the claims of their political opponents.
