Giving an example, Vijayan said that a Muslim man named Azimullah Khan had given the slogan of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'. The chief minister said, “Some leaders of the Sangh Parivar who came here asked the people sitting in front of them to raise the slogan of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’. Who gave this slogan?
