The political battle over Vande Mataram has intensified, with the BJP attacking the Congress for singing only the first two stanzas of the National Song at party events. While Home Minister Amit Shah termed the move “anti-national”, Congress defended it as a long-standing practice rooted in a 1937 resolution backed by national leaders. Amid the controversy, the Centre has launched a university outreach campaign featuring the full rendition of Vande Mataram.
