Kerala: “The slogans ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ and ‘Jai Hind’ were first raised by two Muslims,” said Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday and asked whether the Sangh Parivar would be ready to abandon them.

The veteran CPI(M) leader, reaching out to the minority community in the Muslim-dominated north Kerala district of Malappuram said Muslim rulers, cultural icons, and officials had played a significant role in the country’s history and independence movement.

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan drew examples from history to prove his point as he said that a Muslim man named Azimullah Khan had coined the slogan ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’.
