Winter Session 2025 Live: Amit Shah In RS Attacks Nehru 

Winter Session 2025 Live: Union Home Minister Amit Shah, during his address in Rajya Sabha, said, "When fifty years of Vande Mataram were completed, the country was not yet independent. And when Vande Mataram completed 50 years, Jawaharlal Nehru divided it into two parts and restricted it to only two stanzas."

"That moment marked the beginning of appeasement, and this appeasement later became the basis for the partition of the country. Many people, including myself, believe that if Congress had not divided Vande Mataram under its policy of appeasement, then the country would not have been divided. India would have remained whole today," he said.

Winter Session 2025 Live: Amit Shah In RS Says 'Vande Mataram Not Limited To Bengal'

Winter Session 2025 Live: Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, "Some members raised questions in the Lok Sabha on the need for these discussions on Vande Mataram. The need for discussion on Vande Mataram, the need for dedication towards Vande Mataram, was important back then; it is needed now, and it will always be significant for a bright future which we have envisioned for 2047... Some think these discussions are being held because of the upcoming elections in Bengal. They want to demean the glorification of our national song by relating these discussions to the Bengal elections. It is true that the composer of Vande Mataram, Bankim Babu, was from Bengal, the Anand Matth had its origin in Bengal, but Vande Mataram was not limited to Bengal or the country... When a soldier at the border of the country, or a policeman guarding the country from inside, sacrifices his life for the country, Vande Mataram is the only slogan he raises."
