BJP Files Police Complaint Against Sonia Gandhi Over Vande Mataram Row

The BJP has filed a police complaint against Congress leader Sonia Gandhi in connection with a viral video showing senior Congress leaders appearing to speak during the singing of Vande Mataram at the party's headquarters in New Delhi on Independence Day. The incident has sparked further political tension between the BJP and Congress.

The BJP alleges that the conduct of senior Congress leaders during the national song was disrespectful, citing footage where they can be seen talking while the song was being played at full volume. Congress, however, rejects these allegations, stating that Sonia Gandhi was simply checking the arrangements for the song's rendition.

BJP leaders Manoj Tiwari and Shahnawaz Hussain have also criticized Sonia Gandhi, alleging visible discomfort in the footage and questioning her intentions. Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra further accused the Congress leadership of deliberately showing disrespect to the national song. The controversy has intensified the ongoing political rivalry between the two parties.
