Amit Shah Slams Congress Over "Anti-National" Vande Mataram Stance

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, criticizing its decision to sing only the first two stanzas of 'Vande Mataram' at party events. Shah labeled the move as "anti-national" and an act of "extreme appeasement," urging the public to rally against the grand old party's stance.
The controversy erupted following the Congress Working Committee's (CWC) resolution to adhere to its long-standing policy, dating back to 1937, of singing only a select portion of the national song. This decision has sparked considerable outrage among leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and other political commentators.
Reacting sharply to the Congress's resolution, Amit Shah explicitly stated that the decision was an "anti-national" one and exemplified a policy of "extreme appeasement." His remarks underscore the deep ideological divide between the two major political parties regarding issues of national identity and cultural symbolism.
Adding to the chorus of criticism, BJP leader Nitin Nabin went further, likening the Congress to a "New Muslim League" in a strong condemnation of their resolution. This comparison highlights the heated rhetoric surrounding the issue, drawing parallels to historical political alignments and decisions. Other leaders, including Dhami, also echoed Shah's sentiments, unequivocally calling the Congress's decision "anti-national."
The 'Vande Mataram' row is set to be a significant point of contention in the political landscape, with the BJP aiming to galvanize public opinion against the Congress. The historical 1937 resolution by the Congress regarding the song's stanzas has been a recurring point of debate, often resurfacing in political discourse, and once again, it has become a flashpoint for nationalistic sentiment and political rivalry.
