Renowned singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya has recently found himself at the center of a heated controversy after his remark referring to Mahatma Gandhi as the “Father of Pakistan.” The statement, which was made publicly, has sparked outrage and led to a legal notice being served to the singer.
“Music composer RD Burman was bigger than Mahatma Gandhi. Like Mahatma Gandhi was the father of the nation, RD Burman was the father of the nation in the world of music,” the singer said as quoted by Free Press Journal.
“Mahatma Gandhi was the father of the nation for Pakistan and not India. India already existed, Pakistan was carved out of India later. Gandhi has been mistakenly called the father of the nation for India. He was the one responsible for the existence of Pakistan,” he added.
There have been many times when the singer, who is famous for his long career as a Bollywood playback singer, spoke out against something. But this particular comment has caused a lot of debate and shows how touchy historical and political figures can be in public discourse.
A lot of people are waiting for Abhijeet Bhattacharya to respond to the legal notice as the controversy continues. The event serves as a reminder of the role that public figures play in shaping stories and the significance of communicating with care.
As the story goes on, we’ll let you know more about the case and Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s position.
