'Vande Mataram' Controversy: Respect For Tradition Or Political Spin?
A political storm has broken out over the rendition of Vande Mataram at the Congress headquarters on Independence Day, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah accusing the party of disrespecting the national song and demanding an apology. The BJP has cited videos it claims show Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi objecting to the full rendition, while Congress faces criticism from BJP leaders and Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay's descendant over the controversy.
