He further said, "We hosted big events of Nusrat, Mehdi Hasan...in your country no performance of Lata Mangeshkar was ever organised. We saw how Mumbai was attacked...they (terrorists) neither came from Norway nor from Egypt..they are still roaming freely in your country."
Akhtar was attending a festival organised in memory of renowned Urdu poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz in Lahore.
