Speaking about 'India vs Bharat' row, Thakur said that Bharat has been there for eternity and opposition should clarify what problem they have with the 'Bharat' name. While the minister ducked the question over any plan to bring a bill or resolution in Parliament related to 'Bharat' nomenclature, he said that one should not think twice before taking the name of Bharat or India as we all are 'Bharat Vasi'.
