Claim

Mohan Bhagwat said many Pakistanis believe Partition was a mistake, which shows he actually supports the idea of Akhand Bharat rather than talks with Pakistan.

“Mohan Bhagavat said that many people in Pakistan believe that the partition was a mistake, that he will not quote, which means Mohan Bhagavat is actually supporting the line of Akhanda Bharat.”

Rationale

Bhagwat is on record stating that people in Pakistan believe Partition was a mistake, and he explicitly paired this with the assertion that Partition was artificial and 'Akhand Bharat is the truth.' Thus Arnab's core attribution — that Bhagwat's remark reflects support for Akhand Bharat — matches Bhagwat's own words. The added inference that this means he opposes 'talks with Pakistan' is Arnab's editorial interpretation, and Bhagwat separately clarified he was not calling for attacking Pakistan; but the central factual claim about what Bhagwat said and its Akhand Bharat implication is accurate.
