The Budget Session of Haryana Assembly on Wednesday saw an uproar on the slogan of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ raised by Congress MLA Geeta Bhukkal, who said the Manohar Lal Khattar government in the state only had this slogan.
During the Question Hour, when a question was being answered, BJP MLA from Ambala city Aseem Goyal claimed that Bhukkal took a dig and mocked the treasury benches by raising slogan of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'.
Members from the treasury bench interrupted the proceedings for mocking at the slogan and shouted slogan of Bharat Mata Ki Jai in the House. After slogan of BJP MLAs, Congress MLAs also raised slogans of Bharat Mata ki Jai.
Pointing at Congress MLAs, Goyal said every Indian raises this slogan and accused them of being ashamed of raising it. As soon as he said this, Congress MLAs Rajendra Singh Joon, Rao Dan Singh and Aftab Ahmed stood up from their seats.
They said that no one has any problem when someone says Bharat Mata ki Jai. "This slogan is not registered for any single party," they said.
