Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said the lotus is not just a party symbol but connected to India’s cultural identity, as he slammed those creating a controversy over the presence of the flower’s image on the G20 logo.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had unveiled the logo on November 8. The Opposition Congress had accused the BJP of promoting its poll symbol – lotus.
“One is pained that a controversy is created around symbols of our country’s culture and those connected with it’s cultural identity,” said Singh at an event.
