Mumbai: Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan faced severe criticism from Muslim clerics for his comments on the animal sacrifice in Islam. He said that slaughtering of a ‘Bakra’ does not mean ‘Qurbani’. For his comments, the clerics asked him to focus on his work instead of making his own interpretation of religious customs.
The actor took to Twitter and wrote, “Pls Bhaiyon, who r upset with my statement, either u r not ready to introspect or u r in a hurry 2 reach 2 a conclusion.”
He added, “For me religion is abt personal introspection , it’s a source for compassion, wisdom and moderation n not for stereotyping n fanaticism.”
Irrfan further tweeted, “Clerics don’t scare me !! Thank God I don’t live in a country governed by religious contractors (thekedars ) #FREEDOM.”
