Slogan 'Bharat Mata ki Jai, nahi to admission nahi' on high peak in Amreli

Author yuvamind

The disputation of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ slogan has reached on high peak in Gujarat on Sunday. Till now the slogan was being equated with patriotism by those in favour of it while the ones against it quoted religious freedom or Indian Constitution to not chant it. An educational trust in Amreli named Shree Patel Vidhyarthi Ashram Trust which is headed by Gujarat BJP leader Dilip Sanghani — has brought right to education within the ambit of the raging debate  and announced that students seeking admission to its institutes will have to write ' Bharat Mata ki Jai ' on their application forms, or lose admission.
According to report, the decision was taken by a trust meeting on Sunday. A primary school, two high schools and a college will take part in the trust at Amreli. Currently, around 4,500 students study in the four institutes. Political observers feel Dilip Sanghani has made the move to get back in the limelight after being sidelined in the new dispensation under state BJP president Vijay Rupani. Even at the district level, Vijay Rupani appointed Hiren Hirpara, a confidant of MP Narayan Kachhadia, as the BJP ' s Amreli district president. It was no surprise then that Sanghani preferred to not attend felicitation programme of Hirpara. Sanghani, while talking to Mirror, justified the decision stating it was the 104-year-old trust ' s attempt to inspire nationalism in its students. He said, "In the time when anti-national sloganeering is gaining momentum on educational campuses, we want our students to respect their country. So, we have decided to give admission only to those students who write Bharat Mata ki Jai. The new rule will be implemented from upcoming term. Students who don ' t write Bharat Mata ki Jai on the admission forms will not get admission." The decision by the trust has not gone down well with the Congress which accused BJP of trying to divide the country. Congress MLA from Amreli Paresh Dhanani said, "BJP must stop disrespecting the constitution which has given all religions and caste an equal status. It doesn ' t require us to prove our patriotism by chanting some slogan."
