Actor Irrfan Khan's recent comments on the traditions of fasting during Ramzan and sacrifice during Bakri Eid has got sharp rebuttal from the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) member Zafaryab Gilabi, who condemned the actor by saying that he is not a religious leader and his advice is not needed. Maulana Khatri, secretary of Jamaat-e-Ulema-e-Hind also criticised him for his comments
In an interview, the actor said that rather than fasting during Ramzan and making sacrifice during Bakri Eid Muslims should self-introspect.

For me religion is abt personal introspection , it's a source for compassion, wisdom and moderation n not for stereotyping n fanaticism.— irrfan (@irrfan_k) July 1, 2016
