Mumbai, Mar 14 (IBNS): Triggering a controversy, AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has said he will never chant 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'.

Challenging RSS head Mohan Bhagwat over his suggestion to teach new generation  to chant slogans hailing 'Mother India', Owaisi said: "I don't chant that slogan."

"What are you going to do, Bhagwat sahab," he said.

He said he will not chant the slogan if a knife is put on his throat.

"Nowhere in the Constitution it has been mentioned  that one should say: Bharat Mata ki Jai," Owaisi said.
