BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya said that those who dont want to chant Bharat Mata Ki Jai, should go to some other country.
In the backdrop of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Asaduddin Owaisi's statement that he would not chant 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', BJP General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya today said those who did not want to say the slogan had no right to stay in India.
"I feel that those who don't want to chant Bharat Mata Ki Jai have no right to stay in India. They should go to some other country," Mr Vijayvargiya told reporters.
Rejecting Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat's suggestion for chanting the slogan to infuse patriotism, Mr Owaisi had yesterday said he would not say 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' even if a knife was put to his throat prompting Shiv Sena to tell him that he should go to Pakistan.
Mr Owaisi's statement came days after Mr Bhagwat said the new generation needed to be taught to chant slogans hailing Mother India.
