How can the BJP strike down ‘INDIA’: Raghav Chadha on G20 invite

G20 Summit invite has ignited a spark of controversy over ‘The President of Bharat’ instead of ‘The President of India’ in the letter. After Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, AAP leader Raghav Chadha on Tuesday lashed out at BJP for striking down ‘INDIA’ from the invite.

Taking it to official social media handle, Chadha wrote, “The BJP’s recent move to change the reference from ‘President of India’ to ‘President of Bharat’ on official G20 summit invitations has raised eyebrows and ignited a public debate. How can the BJP strike down ‘INDIA’? The country doesn’t belong to a political party; it belongs to 135 crore Indians. Our national identity is not the BJP’s personal property that it can modify on whims and fancies.” He added, “Judega Bharat, Jeetega INDIA.”

It is to be noted here that Rashtrapati Bhawan has sent out an invite for a G20 dinner on September 9 in the name of ‘President of Bharat’ instead of the usual ‘President of India’.
