Mayawati Writes Letter To Chief Justice On India VS Bharat Political Dispute, Requesting Him To Take Cognizance

In the official invitation for the G20 Summit’s evening banquet on September 9th, the use of the word ‘India’ has sparked controversy, with Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Mayawati taking aim at both the opposition and the ruling BJP-NDA coalition on Wednesday.

She expressed concern that there is a perception among the public that both the government and the opposition are united on this issue and requested the Supreme Court to take suo-motu cognizance while imposing a ban on organizations, parties, and alliances using the name of the country.

Mayawati stated that her party’s policy of equidistance from the two alliances is proving correct.

In her letter, she stated, “The truth is that under a well-thought-out conspiracy, the opposition has given the BJP-NDA an opportunity to amend the Constitution by naming their alliance ‘India.’ This is a conspiracy by the ruling party, and they have ignored critical issues such as unemployment, poverty, and inflation.”

Mayawati alleged that the BJP-NDA alliance should have gone to the Supreme Court against alliances with names similar to the country’s name or should have enacted a law to prohibit such naming. She stated, “We urge the Supreme Court to take suo-motu cognizance and impose a ban on organizations, parties, and alliances using the country’s name.”

The BSP leader accused this as a premeditated conspiracy between the ruling party and the opposition, labeling it as “dirty politics” and “anti-people.”

Recalling the role of B.R. Ambedkar in drafting the Constitution, Mayawati stated that altering or making amendments to the Constitution and playing with people’s sentiments is inappropriate.

The BSP Chief stated, “Our party doesn’t find it justified which means it is totally wrong.”

The controversy arose after an invitation for the evening banquet of the G20 Summit on September 9th was sent on behalf of the President of India from the Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidential House), leading opposition parties to raise objections.
