New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party has passed a resolution regarding the honor of 'Vande Mataram' and its historical legacy. BJP has opposed the decision of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), in which it has been said to maintain the system of singing only the first two verses of Vande Mataram in Congress programs. BJP says that this limits the entire historical legacy of the national anthem.
The party said that Vande Mataram is not just a song, but an important symbol related to India's freedom movement and national consciousness. According to BJP, it represents respect for Mother India and the spirit that united people during the struggle for freedom.
Also mentioned the decision of 1937
In its resolution, BJP has mentioned the 1937 decision of Congress and criticized it. The party says that the political circumstances that arose at that time regarding the singing of Vande Mataram should not be influenced by today's situation. Along with this, the constitutional and legal status related to Vande Mataram has also been mentioned in the proposal. BJP said that the decision of the working committee of any political party cannot be above the decision of the Parliament or the constitutional system of the country.
