Anti-national, for vote bank: Amit Shah slams CWC decision on two-stanza Vande Mataram
On the day following Congress' decision to sing only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram at their events, Union Home Minister Amit Shah delivered a harsh criticism of the party. He branded their decision as "astonishing" and "anti-national," asserting that it was a violation of the law enacted by Parliament regarding the full rendition of the national song.
Shah posted a video clip to X, where he was seen speaking to ANI news agency, stating, "The Congress Working Committee has taken an astonishing and anti-national decision." He reminded the country of the Congress' 1937 resolution, which, according to him, laid the foundation for the partition of the nation by dividing Vande Mataram into two parts.
This, in turn, fueled the two-nation theory, leading to the country's partition and the birth of Pakistan.
