Only definition of nationalism is Bharat Mata ki Jai: Anupam Kher

March 17, 2016 11:21

Actor Anupam Kher, an ardent Narendra Modi supporter and flies the nationalist flag tweets that the "only definition of nationalism for Bharatwasis should be "Bharat Mata Ki Jai".

Yesterday, the Congress joined the BJP, NCP and Shiv Sena in the Maharashtra Assembly to get AIMIM MLA Waris Pathan suspended. They backed a resolution moved by Minister of State for Home Ranjit Patil, disapproving of Pathan's behaviour and suspending him for the remainder of the Budget session.

At one point, cabinet minister and BJP leader Eknath Khadse said an apology from the AIMIM MLA would do but he was shouted down by Congress members who sought suspension of Pathan and were immediately backed by the NCP, BJP and Shiv Sena.

BJP members isolated AIMIM's Waris Pathan and Imtiaz Jaleel the two MLAs of Asaduddin Owaisi's party during the debate on the Governor's address to the House for refusing to chant 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'

This comes in the aftermath of Owaisi challenging the RSS a couple of days ago by saying he would never chant Bharat Mata ki Jai.
