Congress on Tuesday hit back at the government after the Rashtrapati Bhawan (President House) sent out invites for a G20 dinner of September 9 in the name of President of Bharat instead of the usual President of India saying now even this āUnion of States” is under assault.
In a post on X, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said, āSo the news is indeed true. Rashtrapati Bhawan has sent out an invite for a G20 dinner on September 9 in the name of āPresident of Bharatā instead of the usual āPresident of Indiaā.”
āNow, Article 1 in the Constitution can read: āBharat, that was India, shall be a Union of Statesā. But now even this āUnion of Statesā is under assault,” the Congress communication in-charge said
Defending the use of Bharat top BJP leader JP Nadda asked why does the Congress party have āso much objection to every subject related to the honor and pride of the country?”
