Watch | Javed Akhtar tears into Owaisi over ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ remark

Javed Akhtar tore into AIMIM leader and MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday for saying he won't chant 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' because the Constitution doesn't require him to do so. Taking a dig at Owaisi's constitutional rights, Akhtar said during his farewell speech in Rajya Sabha -- “the Constitution even does not ask him to wear sherwani (dress) and topi (cap)... I don't care to know whether saying 'Bharat mata ki jai' is my duty or not but it is my right.”
