The famous poet-lyricist and Rajya Sabha MP Javed Akhtar bid goodbye in a style; his farewell speech will be remembered for a long time as he has made it clear that patriotism is not something which has to be forced by constitution and more importantly, it comes from within.
Just few days back, Asadduddin Owaisi, the Lok Sabha MP and President of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen has made a statement that he won’t say “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” even if knife is kept on his throat. Javed has responded to his statement in a kickass way by telling him that constitution also doesn’t tell to wear Sherwani but still it is worn by people. Javed calls Owaisi, “mohalla leader from Hyderabad” and condemns him for refusing to say “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”.
Javed Akhtar recites “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” few times in his speech while saying that secularism is not just about safeguarding the rights of one religion. In fact, “We need to protect secularism because there cannot be democracy without it. I believe this is our greatest achievement.”
Well, in simple words, this is a speech which just can’t be missed at any cost:
