Kerala Vande Mataram Row | BJP Accuses Congress Government Of Appeasing Jamaat-e-Islami

A political row has erupted in Kerala after Vande Mataram was reportedly not sung at the state’s official Independence Day function. The BJP has sharply criticised the Congress government, accusing it of appeasing extremist organisations and alleging pressure from Jamaat-e-Islami and the Muslim League. BJP leaders have questioned the omission of the national song, while Kerala government representatives have defended their position, saying there is no need for a certificate from the BJP. The controversy has triggered a fresh political confrontation in Kerala.
