‘Bro’ means ‘Brother’ was not wrong, should be read correctly – Rajnath

Rajnath Singh said, “Friends, when I first saw the name of ‘Border Roads Organisation’ written in short, I mistook it for ‘Bro’. Which is used by our new generation as ‘Brother’. Then I was told that it is not ‘Bro’, it is written BRO. But the way I am seeing the army moving forward along with the people of the country, I can say that then I read BRO as ‘Bro’ i.e. ‘Brother’ was not wrong, but absolutely right. BRO means ‘Bro’ of our forces, BRO means ‘Bro’ of our countrymen.”
