BJP vs Congress Over National Song: Sambit Patra Blames Nehru's 'False Secularism'
A political flashpoint is brewing in Parliament after BJP MP Sambit Patra reignited the long-standing debate over Vande Mataram. Patra accused former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of "false secularism," claiming-citing a book by Sachiv Bhattacharya-that Nehru believed Vande Mataram could irritate Muslims. The BJP argues this stance diluted national pride in the name of appeasement.
