Mera Bharat Nakaam (that is what Star New's program said yesterday, and I sadly agree with them).

Jammu: After the Shivling controversy at the Amarnath Yatra, another yatra - Buddha Amarnath in Poonch district has hit a controversy.
The Jammu & Kashmir administration has issued an advisory that refrains pilgrims from shouting slogans like Bharat Mata Ki Jai during the Buddha Amarnath Yatra in Poonch.😡
The annual yatra is slated to start from July 27, it passes through the militancy hit areas of Mendhar and Surankote in Poonch.
Due to security concerns the division administration cut the yatra short from two weeks to two days and in the process, annoying a few leaders.
"The yatra would begin on July 27 no matter what the administration says," says VHP President, Ramakant Dubey.
Due to security reasons, movements of pilgrims in and around Poonch have also been restricted and so has been the shouting of slogans.
But the Jammu and Kashmir administration says it's only a suggestion.
"What we suggested was that there should not be any need for a hype, there should not be any provocation either through slogans or statements," says Divisional Commissioner of Jammu Pramod Jain.
Legend has it that the Amarnath pilgrimage is incomplete without paying homage to Buddha at Poonch.

So "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" is a provocative slogan now? Yahan nahin bolenge to kya China jakar bolenge. God save this country.😡
