No problem saying Bharat Mata Ki Jai: Delhi L-G Najeeb Jung
April 12, 2016
Lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung said he had no problem in saying Bharat Mata Ki Jai but argued that refusal to chant the slogan doesn't make any Indian 'anti-national'.
Making a distinction between worshipping God and one's country, Jung said: "We are happy to say 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' or 'Madre Vatan''. But one may refuse to chant Bharat Mata Ki Jai, that doesn't make one anti-national.'
Jung said politicians who say Indians not chanting Bharat Mata Ki Jai had no right to live in this country needed to be ignored.
