OPINION | Vande Mataram: Amit Shah has hit Congress’ raw nerve

Indian National Congress has refused to sing the full version of the ‘Vande Mataram’ song, which energised millions of freedom fighters during British rule. Union Home Minister Amit Shah described this decision as “anti-national”. He said the Congress Working Committee has taken  “a surprising and anti-national decision”. Shah said, “Congress party adopted a resolution in 1937 when the party decided to sing only two stanzas of  Vande Mataram. I want to remind the entire country that in 1937, for Muslim appeasement, the Congress party laid the foundation for the partition of the country by dividing Vande Mataram into two. From there, the two-nation theory gained strength and eventually, the country was partitioned and Pakistan was born.”
