Outspoken Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij on Friday added fuel to the raging debate over ‘Bharat Mata ki jai’ chants and said that those refusing to chant it should attend an RSS ‘shakha’ to resolve their confusions.
In a tweet, Vij said that “those who have difficulty in chanting ‘Bharat Mata ki jai’ should attend an RSS shakha and all their confusions will be resolved.”
Earlier, he had supported Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev’s controversial remarks that he would have “beheaded” people for refusing to chant ‘Bharat Mata ki jai’ if there was no law to stop him.
Baba Ramdev has reflected the feelings of the people of the country, Vij had said earlier this week. “It is our culture, the country’s law that such people are being tolerated. If this had happened in any other country, they would not be tolerated,” said Vij.
Anil Vij is a five-time BJP MlA from the Ambala Cantt constituency and is known for his outspoken nature.
After Yoga Guru Ramdev’s remarks at a Sadbhavana programme in Rohtak, Haryana Cabinet Ministers Om Prakash Dhankar and Karan Dev Kamboj had also said that those opposing to say ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ should not have any right to stay in the
country.
While state Agriculture Minister OP Dhankar had said,”Bharat mein yadi rehne hoga, toh Vande Matram Kehna Hoga. Bharat Mata ki Jai bhi Kehna Hoga”, Kamboj went onto say, “Whosoever lives in India should chant the slogan ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, otherwise they should not have any right to stay here.”
