Urdu Academy Controversy: Javed Akhtar Event Cancelled

Imagine a writer, Javed Akhtar, was invited to speak at an event in Kolkata.

But some people didn't like his past opinions and wanted the event stopped.

The event got postponed because of this.

This is a problem because it limits freedom of speech and makes the Muslim community look bad.

It also makes it harder for Muslims to have a voice in society.

The article is saying that instead of canceling, it would have been better to have a discussion and debate with the writer.
