Abhijeet Bhattacharya Stirs Controversy After Saying Gandhi Was Pakistan’s Father Of The Nation

Playback singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya recently sparked controversy with his remarks about Mahatma Gandhi, referring to the Indian freedom fighter as the “Father of Pakistan.”

During a podcast interview with journalist Shubhankar Mishra, Bhattacharya compared Gandhi to legendary music composer RD Burman, saying, “Pancham Da (RD Burman) was greater than Mahatma Gandhi. Just as Gandhi was the Father of the Nation, Pancham Da was the Father of the Nation in the realm of music.”

He further added, “Mahatma Gandhi wasn’t India’s Father of the Nation; he was Pakistan’s Father of the Nation. India has always existed. Pakistan was created, and by mistake, Gandhi was called the Father of Our Nation.”
