New Delhi [India], September 5 (ANI): After Congress leader Jairam Ramesh took exception to the invitation for the G20 dinner sent in the name of 'President of Bharat' and not India, BJP leader Tarun Chugh on Tuesday said that Bharat is mentioned in country's Constitution and that the Rajya Sabha MP is "deliberately" creating misunderstandings for no reason. 
While speaking to ANI, the Bharatiya Janata Party national general secretary, said, "Why is there an issue with saying or writing Bharat? Why are you feeling ashamed, Jairam Ramesh Ji?"
He said that our nation has been called Bharat since ancient times and it is even mentioned in our Constitution. "They are trying to create misunderstandings for no reason," Chugh added. 
Earlier in the day, Congress Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh claimed that Rashtrapati Bhawan has sent out an invite for a G20 dinner on September 9 in the name of 'President of Bharat' instead of the usual 'President of India'. 
Ramesh accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “distorting history and dividing India” and said the objective of parties in the INDIA bloc is also "BHARAT -  Bring Harmony, Amity, Reconciliation And Trust."
“So the news is indeed true. Rashtrapati Bhawan has sent out an invite for a G20 dinner on Sept 9th in the name of 'President of Bharat' instead of the usual 'President of India'. Now, Article 1 in the Constitution can read: “Bharat, that was India, shall be a Union of States.” But now even this “Union of States” is under assault,” Ramesh said on ‘X’, formerly known as Twitter.
“Mr Modi can continue to distort history and divide India, that is Bharat, that is a Union of States. But we will not be deterred. After all, what is the objective of INDIA parties? It is BHARAT—Bring Harmony, Amity, Reconciliation And Trust. Judega BHARAT Jeetega INDIA!” he added.
Meanwhile, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar also lashed out at Congress and said that the country was Bharat and will always remain Bharat. 
"They have a problem with everything and I do not want to say anything for them. I am a 'Bharatwaasi', the name of my country was 'Bharat' and will remain 'Bharat' always. If Congress has a problem with this, they should find a cure for it themselves," the Union Minister said while speaking to ANI. 
Apart from it, BJP Rajya Sabha MP Harnath Singh Yadav said the entire country is demanding that the word 'Bharat' should be used instead of 'India'.
 “The word 'India' is an abuse given to us by the British whereas the word 'Bharat' is a symbol of our culture...I want there should be a change in our Constitution and the word 'Bharat' should be added to it," he said. (ANI)
