The Story in Brief
BJP MLA Captain R Tamil Selvan told a Tiranga rally in Mumbai’s Sion-Koliwada constituency that people who wanted to live in India must say “Vande Mataram” and “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”, or go to Pakistan, ABP News reports. More than 500 people attended the Independence Day event, which Tamil Selvan led.
Maharashtra leaders also marked Independence Day across the state. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat hoisted the national flag at separate events. Fadnavis spoke of Maharashtra’s 8.8% economic growth, while Bhagwat urged citizens to strengthen the nation’s core principles.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narrative that a patriotic slogan can measure a citizen’s loyalty is as divisive as the claim that such rhetoric represents every BJP supporter. A public representative can ask people to respect national symbols, but telling Indians to leave the country turns disagreement into exclusion. The more useful test is whether parties reject this language clearly and whether Tamil Selvan faces any party or legal action for the remark.
