No One Has The Right To Change Country’s Name: Sharad Pawar

Jalgaon/Hyderabad, Sept 5 (Maxim News): Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar today said no one has the right to change the country’s name after the Congress claimed that a G20 dinner invite refers to the president as “President of Bharat“.
