Veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar lauded the Indian government's effort for evacuating stranded students from Ukraine amid the country's ongoing crisis with Russia.

During a question and answer session held at Pune International Film festival 2022 on Friday, Akhtar said, "I am confident that government is trying to get our kids back, I have no doubt even for a moment government is trying its best to bring all kids safely."

"Even I have heard today that some decision has taken to make a safe corridor for the evacuation of the kids ... this issue is of national concerned," he added.

The 77-year-old star also said that "at last nobody wins the war everyone loses it people die from both the side, war shouldn't happen at all."
