Indian singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya is a known bigot with a particular hatred for Pakistan. It seems that the bigot singer has now been served a dose of his own medicine. 

Pune-based lawyer Asim Sarode has sent a legal notice to Abhijeet Bhattacharya over a controversial statement he made in a podcast. Abhijeet called Mahatma Gandhi the "father of Pakistan."

According to Indian media, lawyer Asim Sarode sent the notice on behalf of his client Manish Deshpande, demanding an immediate apology from Abhijeet.

The notice states that if the singer does not apologize, a complaint will be registered against him under sections 353 (public disorder) and 356 (defamation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

During the podcast, Abhijeet compared Mahatma Gandhi to composer R.D. Burman and said, "Mahatma Gandhi is not the father of India but of Pakistan. India existed before that, Pakistan seceded from India later. Gandhi has been mistakenly called the father of India."

The lawyer highlighted Gandhi's services in the notice, saying that he worked tirelessly to promote Hindu-Muslim unity and brotherhood.

The lawyer added, "During the freedom movement, when the question of partition came up, Gandhiji had said, 'India will be divided only by passing over my dead body. As long as I am alive, I will never accept partition.'"

This is not the first time that Abhijeet Bhattacharya has been in the news for his controversial statements. Recently, he criticized British singer Dua Lipa, saying that she did not give him credit while singing a song in Mumbai.
