Why Didn’t You Sing Vande Mataram in Full All These Years?: Mallikarjun Kharge Questions Modi, BJP
The party said it will educate younger generations about the song’s six verses and history after condemning Congress’s two-stanza limit.
- On Saturday, August 22, 2026, the Bharatiya Janata Party passed a resolution in New Delhi condemning the Congress Working Committee's decision to limit the singing of Vande Mataram to two stanzas.
- The Congress Working Committee reaffirmed its 1937 policy on August 19, 2026, a move the BJP claims subjects Vande Mataram to 'communal pressure, political appeasement or narrow vote-bank politics.'
- BJP president Nitin Nabin vowed to protect the 'honour, dignity, heritage and national character' of Purna Vande Mataram and pledged to disseminate Mahatma Gandhi's description of the song as an 'anti-imperialist slogan.'
- Nabin announced a nationwide campaign to spread Vande Mataram's 'glorious heritage' across India, targeting younger generations to ensure the complete six-verse song and its history are not forgotten.
- The party declared 'no compromise on the honour, legacy of Vande Mataram will be accepted' for political convenience, positioning the resolution as a formal defense against dilution of the national song's legacy.
