“Rashtrapati Bhawan has sent out an invite for a G20 dinner on Sept 9th in the name of ‘President of Bharat’ instead of the usual ‘President of India’,” Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Ramesh further said, “Now, Article 1 in the Constitution can read: “Bharat, that was India, shall be a Union of States. But now even this “Union of States” is under assault.”
Senior journalist Suhasini Haidar responded by saying, “Hon’ble MP should be aware that India, that is Bharat is already in the Constitution.”
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK leader M K Stalin ridiculed the saffron party in power saying, “BJP promised to TRANSFORM India, but all we got is a name change after 9 years.”
He said that after non-BJP forces united against the fascist BJP regime by aptly naming their alliance INDIA, the BJP has chosen to change the name of the country to Bharat.
“Seems like the BJP is rattled by a single term called India because they recognise the strength of unity within the opposition. During the elections, ‘India’ will chase BJP out!” he affirmed.
Earlier today, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh alleged that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)-led by Mohan Bhagwat wants to change the Constitution of the country by ‘removing’ the word ‘India’ with Bharat.
“Babasaheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar wrote in the constitution–“India That Is Bharat”. But Modi and RSS who hate Babasaheb want to change the constitution. Why do Bhagwat and Modi hate Babasaheb so much?” Sanjay Singh said in his post on ‘X’.
This came after Mohan Bhagwat had earlier this month had said that people should use the name “Bharat” instead of India, and urged people to inculcate the habit.
