Abhijeet Bhattacharya faces legal action for calling Mahatma Gandhi “Father of Pakistan”, Pune lawyer demands written apology: Reports

A Pune-based lawyer, Asim Sarode, has issued a legal notice to singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya for his controversial remark describing Mahatma Gandhi as the "Father of Pakistan." The comment, made during a podcast interview, has sparked outrage, with Sarode threatening legal action unless Bhattacharya issues a written apology. The lawyer claims the statement disrespects Gandhi’s legacy and misrepresents historical facts.

The Controversial Statement In the podcast, Abhijeet Bhattacharya compared music composer RD Burman to Gandhi, saying, "Like Mahatma Gandhi was the father of the nation, RD Burman was the father of the nation in the world of music." He went on to assert, "Mahatma Gandhi was the father of the nation for Pakistan and not India." Lawyer's Objections and Gandhi’s Legacy The legal notice, filed on behalf of Manish Deshpande and other law students, accuses Bhattacharya of crossing the line with his remarks. Highlighting Gandhi’s contributions, Sarode stated, “Gandhi worked tirelessly for Hindu-Muslim unity and opposed partition vehemently, saying, ‘To accept partition, it will be over my dead body.’” The lawyer also stated Gandhi’s global recognition, pointing out that over 150 countries have issued postal stamps in his honor.

The notice demands that Bhattacharya submit a written apology for his comments, warning of criminal prosecution if he fails to comply. Sarode believes the singer’s statements undermine Gandhi’s work and promote misinformation. “Such remarks can hurt sentiments and mislead people,” the notice reads.

As of now, the singer has not issued any public statement addressing the legal notice.

'Usko bhi toh kharaab lagta hoga na…’ Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja doesn’t agree with Varun Dhawan's comparison with her husband

Bollywood actor Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja recently spoke about Varun Dhawan being compared with the Hero No. 1 star. Despite Varun Dhawan being born into a film family, the actor has worked hard to create his name with his exceptional performances. But, some people compare Varun with Salman Khan and Govinda.

In an interview with a media portal, Sunita spoke about her husband Govinda and her relationship with him. She even shared her thoughts on Varun being compared to her husband and said that since Varun was a child, he has seen Govinda on sets where he has grown up. She said that even though Varun gets compared to Govinda, he has his own style.

She added saying, 'Bolte hai, compare karte hai but kyun bolte hai mereko ye samajh me nahi aata hai. Usko bhi toh kharaab lagta hoga na k mujhey Salman se compare karte hai, Chi-Chi bhaiya se karte hai but I don't understand karte kyun ho. (People compare him but I don't understand why they do so. He would also feel bad for being compared to Salman Khan and Chi-Chi bhaiya.)'

She continued saying, 'Jo aadmi bachpan se, dekh dekh ke uske dad (David Dhawan) ki 17-18 pictures ki hai Govinda ne. Toh naturally thoda toh aa jaaega na. Bachpan se chulbula bacha tha vo. (The man who has seen Govinda work with his dad in 17-18 movies. Naturally, a little resemblance might be there. Since childhood, Varun has been a happy-go-lucky child.)'

On the work front, Varun is busy filming for Shashank Khaitan's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari with Janhvi Kapoor. He will also play an important role in the upcoming war film Border 2 with Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty.
