Javed Akhtar seeks dismissal of defamation suit against him over RSS-Taliban remarks

Bollywood lyricist Javed Akhtar on Monday filed an application before a court in adjoining Thane district seeking dismissal of a defamation suit filed against him over his alleged remarks comparing the RSS with the hardline group Taliban. The 76-year-old poet-lyricist termed the suit as “vexatious and meritless” that has been filed only to “intimidate and exhaust" him and maintained his alleged defamatory remarks were not specific either towards the RSS or its existing members.
