People should be taught to say Bharat Mata Ki Jai: Mohan Bhagwat

NEW DELHI: In the backdrop of JNU row over anti-national slogans, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday said people should to be taught to say ‘ Bharat Mata Ki Jai’.

Speaking at an award felicitation ceremony in Nagpur, the RSS chief also underlined the importance of teaching about motherland.

“Feelings towards your motherland should come naturally but now a days one has to be taught to say Bharat Mata Ki Jai, because voices against this (slogan) are becoming louder,” Bhagwat said.

Bhagwat also strongly supported BJP government’s action on the JNU case.

“There is no need to be shy of what has been done. The slogan shouting against India has been happening for a number of years, however, this is for the first time that after the government put the students in jail that the students are coming out to say that they have not made any anti-national slogans. This is an improvement,” said an RSS leader.
