Vande Mataram ‘disruption’: Supreme Court advocate’s complaint against Sonia, Rahul

Vande Mataram ‘disruption’: Supreme Court advocate’s complaint against Sonia, Rahul

An advocate for the Supreme Court has lodged a complaint against Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi over an incident involving the disruption of the national song 'Vande Mataram' during an Independence Day function. Subh Sharma, the advocate, alleged that Sonia Gandhi made gestures during the rendition of 'Vande Mataram' that appeared to indicate an objection to its continuation.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) confirmed they are investigating the complaint received at the I P Estate Police Station on August 15. Sharma sought an investigation and an FIR against the two Congress leaders. The complaint claimed that after the initial portion of the National Song had been sung, Sonia Gandhi made gestures and communicated with individuals present, seemingly indicating her objection to its continuation.

Another video showed Rahul Gandhi uttering, "We are not singing Vande Mataram," raising concerns about their intentions and conduct towards 'Vande Mataram' and its dignity. If proven true, such behavior would not only disrespect the national song but also show a disregard for the sentiments of the country's people and constitutional values associated with national honor.
