Akhtar said in a YouTube video: “I have seen people stockpiling for three months, leaving all the stores empty. What are you people doing? What guarantee is there that you will be alive after three months? Who are you stockpiling for?”

He signed off by saying, “Think about a person who is on daily wages and needs to feed his family every day. How will he fulfill his needs if you people don’t leave anything behind for him? Please stop this because humanity comes first.”
