virender sehwag fabulous responds to criticism of india bharat post bjp congress
[ad_1]
Sehwag emphasized that advocating the use of ‘Bharat’ as the name of the nation should not be seen as a political agenda. He wrote on X.com – When people think that our nation should be addressed as India, it is seen as a political discussion. Cricketer-turned-commentator Sehwag clarified his stand and said – I am not a fan of any particular political party. There are good people in both the national parties and there are a lot of incompetent people in both the parties.
Sehwag claimed that he never had any political aspirations and does not have any political aspirations, in an apparent reference to the BJP and the Congress. He claimed that he had declined offers to contest from both the parties in the last two Lok Sabha elections. Sehwag said that if he had any political ambition, his on-field achievements would have been enough to get him a ticket from any party.
He wrote- Talking openly is different from political aspiration. My only interest is ‘India’. Several political personalities jumped on the issue after the Rashtrapati Bhavan sent invitations for the G20 dinner on September 9 in the name of ‘President of Bharat’ instead of the usual ‘President of India’. Opposition parties claimed that the BJP was nervous because of this. The aggressive opener of his time, Sehwag suggested that a united opposition could easily choose to be called BHARAT.
He said- There are many creative people who can suggest suitable full form for this. He further said that regardless of the name of the coalition, elections in India would ultimately be seen as a contest between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Leader of the Opposition. He wrote – May the best win. It will give me great satisfaction if we as a nation are addressed by the name ‘India’.
Earlier on Tuesday, Sehwag urged the BCCI to have ‘Bharat’ instead of India on the jerseys of national team players in the upcoming ODI World Cup and tagged BCCI secretary Jay Shah. He wrote- I have always believed that the name should be such that it instills pride in us. Bharat is a name given by the British (and) it has taken a long time to get back our original name ‘Bharat’. Sehwag’s social media post received enthusiastic support as well as strong criticism. Many wondered whether he did not feel any pride in wearing the ‘India’ jersey while playing for the country.
