AIMIM reacts to Rajya Sabha MP Javed Akhtar's speech in parliament on free speech and AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi's challenge to the RSS that he will never say Bharat Mata Ki Jai.

"By commenting on the cap worn by Owaisi sahab, Javed Akhtar sahab has insulted Muslims of not only India but world, says Waris Pathan, AIMIM. "Javed sahab says 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' then let him, we won't. We will say Hindustan Zindabad and Jai Hind," adds Pathan.


Akhtar took on Owaisi without naming him and said, "There is one man who thinks that he is a national leader, but in reality he is only a leader in an area in the city of Hyderabad, in one of India's states."

The leader, Akhtar said, claims he will not chant Bharat Mata ki Jai because it is not demanded in the Constitution. "The Constitution also does not ask him to wear a sherwani and a cap... I condemn his statements on all fronts," said Akhtar, a nominated member of Rajya Sabha who will be retiring later this year.
