In this video, Waris Pathan says, ” a few days back, few words rolled out of my of tongue for which I have asked pardon from Allah ! …and what are these words,”  Ganapati Bappa Moriya”.

Asaduddin Owaisi’s All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has gone all guns out against its party MLA Waris Pathan for chanting ‘Ganapati Bappa’ at a mandal in Mumbai. Waris Pathan represents Byculla assembly constituency from Mumbai.

He keeps saying again and again that I am a human being and seek pardon from Allah. He asks for “dua” so that he may get forgiveness. The MLA would not have asked forgiveness if he wasnt sure that it would impact his votebank. Doesn’t it have a wider message than the point that radicals have pressurised him ?
