March 16, 2016 19:12

AIMIM MLAs Imtiaz Jaleel and Waris Pathan meet Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis. Pathan was today suspended from this session of the Maharashtra assembly for refusing to say Bharat Mata ki Jai. Both Pathan and Jaleel both refused to say the slogan. Pathan said, "My suspension is the murder of democracy. I will say Hindustan Zindabad not Bharat Mata ki Jai. I want justice, the Speaker should reconsider his decision."

Other AIMIM MLAs also met Fadnavis.

Pathan added, "I love my country, I was born here and I will die here. I can never ever dream of insulting my country. Don't judge anyone's love for the country by just one slogan. Jai Hind Jai Bharat Jai Maharashtra."
