In the last 2 or 3 years, there seems to be this trend of labelling anyone who highlights muslim violence and terrorism/ criticises the minority vote bank parties like Congress, SP, BSP, TMC as a 'bhakt' - the assumption being that anyone criticising these things is inherently communal and a 'blind devotee of Narendra Modi' - hence the term 'bhakt'.
The question is that if praising the beneficial social/ foreign/ defence/ economic policies of the BJP or criticising minority violence or minority appeasing policies makes us a bhakt; then what does it make the other person (i.e the person who calls us Bhakts), who go out of their way to defend anti nationals and terrorists and criticise anything that is remotely nationalist in nature (including the army - perhaps the best institution on our country). These guys are then just jihadi's/ terrorists and terrorist sympathisers.
Therefore, I would suggest that the next time anyone accuses us as being a bhakt, state the obvious fact that s/he in turn is nothing but a jihadi/ terrorist/ terrorist sympathiser.
I normally don't encourage name calling but that's the only way to respond to these brainwashed fanatics because using logic to counter their arguments wont work as their minds are so closed that they will never be willing to consider any facts running counter to their flawed ideologies and hence never admit that they were wrong.
As Abraham Lincoln aptly said, "never try to reason prejudice out of a man. It wasn't reasoned into him in the first place and so it cannot be reasoned out of him".
