Congress Trying To Diminish Vande Mataram's Status: Sambit Patra
BJP leader Sambit Patra launched a sharp attack on the Congress over the ongoing Vande Mataram controversy, accusing the party of pursuing "appeasement politics" and attempting to limit the national song's place in public life. Referring to the Congress headquarters flag-hoisting event on Independence Day and historical Congress resolutions on Vande Mataram, Patra alleged that the party had long opposed the full rendition of the song.
