United Nations has something to say on India Vs Bharat Row; Here’s what it said

India Vs Bharat Row: The United Nations has offered a comment in the midst of the ongoing discussion of changing the name of India to Bharat. Farhan Haq, the deputy spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, addressed the matter and stated that when a country makes a suggestion, the international organization takes it into consideration.

Turkiye comes into scene

Using last year’s name change of Turkey to Turkiye as an example, Haq said: “Well, in the instance of Turkiye, we replied to a formal request brought to us by the Government. Of course, if we receive requests like that, we’ll take them into consideration.”

Notably, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with all of his ministers before leaving for Indonesia to attend the ASEAN-India Summit in preparation for the next G20 Summit, which will take place in Delhi on September 9 and 10.  PM Modi requested that his ministers refrain from making any comments about the name change during the meeting. He reportedly said, “Do not comment,” according to sources.

“I think these are just rumours which are taking place. All I want to say is that anyone who objects to the word Bharat clearly shows the mindset,” said the minister.

“I am a minister of Bharat Sarkar, many news channels also have Bharat in their name. Why should anyone object to Bharat, who are these people who are allergic to the name Bharat? Who is opposing the name Bharat? Now have you even started feeling the pain at the mention of Bharat?” Thakur added while attacking the opposition.

Row began following G20 invitation.

After a G20 dinner invitation sent by the president of India referred to her as “President of Bharat,” a huge political controversy broke out in India. The administration may be planning to rename India during the upcoming special session of the parliament, according to a wave of rumors that were sparked by this.
