The use of 'President of Bharat' - instead of the traditional 'President of India' - on official G20 Summit invitations has sparked a buzz. The move, that comes days ahead of the special session of parliament, has sent political temperatures soaring.
The invitations extended by President Draupadi Murmu to heads of state, government, and Chief Ministers of States for an official banquet during the G20 Summit in New Delhi sparked a row as the word “India” was replaced with “Bharat”.
BJP leaders support using President of Bharat as the country s name; speculation of name change during parliament session. Opposition accuses the government of assaulting the idea of the Union of States .
Even as the dinner invite to G20 leaders from President Droupadi Murmu sparked controversy and speculation, another document has come to light that refers to Narendra Modi as the 'Prime Minister of Bharat'.
