As per a Bollywood Hungama report, a Pune-based lawyer Asim Sarode has now sent a legal notice to singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya over his controversial remark calling Mahatma Gandhi the "Father of Pakistan." Bhattacharya made the comment during a podcast interview, which has since caused widespread outrage. Sarode demands a written apology, arguing that the statement disrespects Gandhi’s legacy and distorts historical facts.

He further claimed, “Mahatma Gandhi was the father of the nation for Pakistan and not India.”
