    RespRahul Gandhi onds With Four Words to 'Vande Mataram' Debate in Parliament

    1 month ago

    Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday delivered a brief four-word response in Parliament amid an ongoing debate on the national song Vande Mataram. When asked about the issue, he said, “Priyanka ka bhashan suno” (Listen to Priyanka Gandhi’s speech).

    The discussion began after Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram in the Lok Sabha. He criticised the Congress for allegedly removing key stanzas of the song during its 1937 Faizabad session, claiming the move “sowed the seeds of Partition” and divided the national sentiment.

    The Congress countered this, saying the decision was taken on the advice of Rabindranath Tagore to respect the sentiments of people from different faiths. The party accused the BJP of distorting history and demanded an apology for “insulting” the 1937 Congress Working Committee and Tagore.

    The row intensified as Parliament’s Winter Session began, especially after the Rajya Sabha Secretariat reminded MPs to avoid slogans like Vande Mataram and Jai Hind during proceedings to maintain decorum. The Opposition accused the government of being uncomfortable with symbols of India’s independence.

    During the debate, PM Modi underlined the historical significance of Vande Mataram, written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in 1875, calling it a “sacred war cry” of the freedom struggle. He criticised the Congress for suppressing national sentiment during the Emergency when the song completed 100 years.

     

    The Lok Sabha has allocated 10 hours for the special debate, with the NDA receiving three hours of speaking time. Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi is also participating in the discussion with a formal reply on behalf of the Opposition.
