BJP & Congress Clash Over Vande Mataram: National Song Or Political Battleground?
What should have been a symbol of national unity has turned into one of India's biggest political controversies. A fierce BJP-Congress confrontation has erupted over the rendition of Vande Mataram, with both parties accusing each other of politicising one of India's most revered national songs. The controversy began after videos surfaced from Congress events where only portions of Vande Mataram were sung, prompting BJP leaders to accuse the Congress of disrespecting the national song and abandoning the very values it claims to represent from India's freedom movement.
