BJP bats for Ram Madhav’s ‘Akhand Bharat’
India, Pakistan and Bangladesh will reunite one day to create “Akhand Bharat” or an “Undivided India”, BJP’s National General Secretary Ram Madhav has said.

For his latest interview, Hasan went Head to Head with Ram Madhav, National General Secretary of the BJP and former member of the National Executive of the RSS at the Oxford Union, and the interview has already made headlines. Madhav had said that RSS believes that India, Pakistan and Bangladesh will one day reunite again not by war but through “popular goodwill”.
He, however, clarified that it “does not mean we wage war on any country… we annex any country”. “It has to stop by motormouths and if you are thinking in terms of “Akhand Bharat” then you need to have a large heart, and it needs a heart transplant”, Vadakkan said.
Ram Madhav made the gaffe during an interview where he was defending the Narendra Modi government against allegations of flirting with fascism.
Madhav was asked critical questions related with attacks on minorities, Dadri, lynching, incidence of exhumation & rape of Muslim woman, Award Wapsi and BJP MPs hate comments. However, the fantasy of “Akhand Bharat”, at least its voicing in this context, might seem ill-timed because it comes right after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “birthday diplomacy” in Lahore, meeting Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif the “Af-way” and touching his mother’s feet as a “Hindu” gesture of respect for his “Muslim” counterpart.
British journalist Mehdi Hasan, presenter of “UpFront” and “Head to Head” for Al Jazeera, has interviewed academics, politicians, intelligence officials- several people in positions of power.
Madhav said the RSS ideology is for the supremacy of India and the organisation is neither “fascist” nor “aggressive”.

Later in a tweet, the BJP leader said, “My Al Jazeera interview was recorded on December 7”. Kashmir is an integral part of India.
