‘Party above nation for Congress’: BJP slams CWC’s Vande Mataram resolution

‘Party above nation for Congress’: BJP slams CWC’s Vande Mataram resolution

The BJP has criticized the Congress for passing a resolution at its Working Committee meeting, stating that the party is putting its interests above the nation. BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi accused the Congress of becoming the "new Muslim League" by demanding that only two stanzas of Vande Mataram be sung at party events. Trivedi stated that the Congress decision raises questions about its patriotism and loyalty to the country.

He emphasized that the resolution passed by the Congress was "extremely reprehensible" and went against the powers granted by the Constitution and laws made by Parliament. Trivedi further stated that the Congress has proven it considers itself above the Constitution and the country, and above the party's own laws. The BJP accused the Congress of shattering its claim to be the sole copyright holder of the freedom struggle.

Trivedi posted on X that the Congress has embraced a shameful chapter and revealed the party's current state, where its loyalty to the nation is completely under suspicion.
