Lyricist Javed Akhtar took to his Twitter handle and reacted to the idea of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s statue which will be installed near India Gate in Delhi. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi had unveiled a hologram statue of Netaji for the time being on the occasion of his birth anniversary, Akhtar believes that although the statue is fine, ‘the choice of the statue is not right (sic)’.
He wrote in his recent tweet, “The idea of Neta ji statue is fine but the choice of the statue is not right. All day the the traffic will be moving around it and the Statue will be standing in the pose of a salute. It is below his dignity It should be either sitting or raising his fist as if raising a slogan.”
