Irrfan Khan in the midst of controversy following comments on Qurbani
Actor Irrfan Khan has landed himself in the midst of controversy following his comment on the traditions of fasting during Ramzan and sacrifice during Bakri Eid. In an interview, the actor said that rather than fasting, people should self-introspect. He also went on to say that animals are being slaughtered in the name of qurbaani. Elaborating further, Irrfan said that qurbaani is to sacrifice something close to you instead of a sheep or goat. The 'Piku' actor further added that nowadays the relevance behind religious activities is lost and people perform them without knowing the actual message behind them.
Commenting on Muharram, the actor said that Muslims have made a mockery of Muharram and while it is meant for mourning, people celebrate it like a festival. Irrfan also criticised Muslim leaders for not speaking up on the issue of terrorism and also asked the general public to question politicians over this issue.
