Veteran Congress leader and former Railway Minister C.K. Jaffer Sharief has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi backing RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for the post of President.
In his letter, Mr. Sharief has said there should not be any doubt about Mr. Bhagwat’s patriotism. “There are different schools of thought in India and it is but natural for such a vast country. Mr. Mohan Bhagwat may belong to one school of thought but there should not be any doubt about his patriotism, love for the people of India and loyalty to the nation,” he has said in the letter.
