‘Entire Bengal fuming’: Suvendu Adhikari slams Sonia Gandhi over I-Day Vande Mataram row
BJP leaders filed a formal complaint against Congress party chairperson Sonia Gandhi at the Urwa Police Station in Karnataka on Sunday. The complaint stems from a political row over the recitation of Vande Mataram at Congress headquarters in New Delhi during Independence Day celebrations. The controversy arose from visuals showing senior Congress leaders speaking while the National Song was being recited, with BJP alleging the conduct was disrespectful.
Congress rejected the charge, stating there was no attempt to halt the rendition. BJP MP Manoj Tiwari accused Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and opposition leader Rahul Gandhi of showing discomfort towards the National Song. Union Home Minister Amit Shah also criticized the Congress, alleging Sonia Gandhi asked party workers to stop the rendition.
The Congress countered the claims, asserting there was no intent to stop the singing and that Sonia Gandhi merely sought proper arrangements for the event.
