Complaints filed against Sonia Gandhi in Delhi, Karnataka over 'Vande Mataram' row at Congress headquarters
Complaints have been filed against Sonia Gandhi in Delhi and Karnataka over an alleged disruption during Vande Mataram's rendition at Congress headquarters on Independence Day. The Congress denied any attempt to stop the National Song.
Two complaints have been filed in Delhi and Karnataka against Congress party chairperson Sonia Gandhi over an incident involving the National Song Vande Mataram during the Congress headquarters Independence Day programme. In Delhi, a complaint has been submitted to the police seeking an FIR and investigation into Sonia Gandhi's conduct during the rendition.
Meanwhile, BJP leaders in Karnataka filed a complaint against her at the Urwa Police Station, alleging disrespect towards the National Song. The controversy arose after videos showed senior Congress leaders speaking while Vande Mataram was being sung, with BJP leaders claiming Sonia Gandhi gestured to stop the rendition. Sonia Gandhi is accused of appearing agitated and attempting to halt the song, while Rahul Gandhi is alleged to have signaled its end.
The Congress party denies these allegations, stating that Sonia Gandhi was only seeking proper arrangements for the event and the chair for party leader KC Kharge. The BJP and other leaders have criticized Congress for disrespecting the National Song, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP MP Manoj Tiwari making specific accusations against Sonia Gandhi, Kharge, and Rahul Gandhi.
