Complaints have been lodged against Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi in Delhi and Karnataka over an incident that occurred during the rendition of the National Song Vande Mataram at the Congress headquarters in New Delhi on Independence Day. The Delhi Police received a complaint seeking the registration of an FIR and investigation into Sonia Gandhi's conduct during the August 15 programme.
Meanwhile, BJP leaders filed a complaint against her at the Urwa Police Station in Karnataka, alleging that she disrespected the National Song. The controversy arose after videos from the Independence Day programme showed senior Congress leaders speaking while the song was being recited, with BJP leaders alleging that Sonia Gandhi gestured to stop the rendition before it was completed.
Sonia Gandhi's office has denied the allegations, stating that she was merely trying to ensure proper arrangements at the event.
