RSS wasn't part of freedom struggle, just chanting 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' isn't patriotism: Uddhav Thackeray
India Today
Uddhav Thackeray said the Shiv Sena wasn't part of the freedom struggle and neither was BJP's parent organisation (the RSS). Merely chanting 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' doesn't make one a patriot, he said.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and said mere chanting of "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" does not make one a patriot or prove one's love for the country. Addressing the state Assembly during the ongoing Budget session, Uddhav Thackeray said the Shiv Sena was not part of the freedom struggle but neither was the BJP's "parent organisation" (the RSS). "Therefore, only chanting 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' does not prove your love for the country. You don't have the right to chant 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' if you are not going to give justice to people and if you are forcing farmers to protest on the streets," Uddhav Thackeray said.More Related News
