"People who don't say 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' are Pakistanis"
What's the story
Uttar Pradesh BJP MLA Surendra Singh has once again created controversy just days after declaring that India would become a Hindu nation by 2024. He said that those people who desist from saying "Bharat Mata ki Jai" are Pakistanis. Speaking at a function in Ratsad on Sunday evening, he also said that such people should not be given the permission to enter politics.
The MLA
What exactly did he say?
The Bairia MLA said, "Those who have a reservation in saying Bharat Mata ki Jai and Vande Matram are Pakistanis and they have no right to live in the country." "People who do not give the status of mother to their motherland, their patriotism is doubtful. Those who have a problem in saying it should not have the permission to do politics," he added.
