Congress’ Decision to Stick to 2 Paras of Vande Mataram 'Appeasement,' Defiance of Law, Says Amit Shah
- On Wednesday, the Congress Working Committee decided that only the first two stanzas of 'Vande Mataram' will be sung at party events, returning to a 1937 resolution of its highest decision-making body.
- Bharatiya Janata Party National President Nitin Nabin slammed the decision on Thursday, accusing Congress of becoming the "new Muslim League" for votes and insulting 'Bharat Mata' as policy.
- A viral video from the August 15 Independence Day event at Congress headquarters sparked tensions, prompting the BJP to allege Rajya Sabha member Sonia Gandhi attempted to stop the complete version.
- Congress clarified that Gandhi was merely requesting a chair for party national president Mallikarjun Kharge, dismissing the political controversy as a "coincidence."
- The BJP-led central government mandates the complete version of 'Vande Mataram' at official functions, a requirement that contrasts sharply with Congress policy and fuels ongoing political debate.
