New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asserted that nationalism is the identity of BJP. Addressing core groups of state BJP units, Modi said the week-long ‘Tiranga Yatra’ by Union ministers and party leaders to mark the 70th Independence Day had made a good impact across the country.
The saffron party has harped on nationalism against the backdrop of ongoing Kashmir unrest, the row over an Amnesty event in Bengaluru in which a case of sedition was registered over alleged raising of ‘pro-azadi’ slogans by some Kashmiris and the JNU controversy.
Though the prime minister did not make any direct mention of these issues, he noted that nationalism has been the party’s identity, sources said.
