You have touched upon a very sensitive topic. I love my country and &#39;mai isi desh ka khaata hu&#39;. One should never say anything ill about the country you live in. It (unfurling of the national flag) is not a bad move,&quot; said the opening batsman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;Only last night when I was watching the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) on television, when they played the national anthem, I subconsciously stood up. You take pride playing for your country. All of us have that responsibility.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dhawan was responding to a question at the launch here of a footwear brand Zeven, regarding a conference of central university vice chancellors resolving on Thursday that the tricolour should be hoisted in the campuses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The question was in connection with the alleged anti-national activities by Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students recently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Asked about the preparations for the upcoming Asia Cup and the all- important World Twenty20, the opening batsman said: &quot;The preparations are good. We are practising hard. We will play quite a few matches in the next few days which will be good. The team is ready for the upcoming tournaments.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
