Meenakshi Lekhi Rebukes Audience for Silence on ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ at Youth Conclave
In a dramatic turn of events at a youth conclave in Kerala, Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi Rebukes Audience
In a dramatic turn of events at a youth conclave in Kerala, Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi expressed her displeasure as a section of the audience refrained from chanting the patriotic slogan ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ despite her repeated appeals. The conclave, organized by right-wing groups in the state, witnessed a tense moment as Lekhi questioned the audience’s commitment to their homeland.
Visibly upset, Lekhi concluded her speech with an enthusiastic chant of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and urged the audience to join in. However, when the response fell short of expectations, she openly questioned whether India was not considered the motherland by everyone present.
Addressing the audience, Lekhi remarked, “I see you guys sitting with your hands folded. Is Bharat only my mother or your mother as well? Tell me…Tell me…Is there any doubt? No doubt?… Enthusiasm needs to be expressed.”
