TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat has said people of Pakistan were not happy after more than seven decades of Independence and they now believe the partition of India was a mistake. He also said ‘Akhand Bharat’ was true but divided Bharat was a “nightmare”.
Bhagwat was speaking at a function to mark the birth anniversary of teen revolutionary Hemu Kalani, which was attended by Sindhis from different parts of the country.
Underlining the need to build a new India, the RSS chief said, “Akhand Bharat (a concept of the country with all its ancient parts that are currently in modern-day Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Tibet unified) is true but divided Bharat was a nightmare.”
“It was Bharat before 1947 (Partition). Are those who broke off from Bharat due to their stubbornness happy still? There is pain out there,” he said in an apparent reference to Pakistan, adding there was happiness in India.
