Parliament Winter Session Live: During 'Vande Mataram' discussion in Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, "The 150-year journey of Vande Mataram has passed through many milestones, but when Vande Mataram turned 50, the country was forced to live in slavery. When Vande Mataram turned 100, the nation was shackled in the chains of Emergency, and when the grand celebration of Vande Mataram should have taken place, the Constitution of India was throttled."
"When Vande Mataram turned 100, those who lived and died for patriotism were imprisoned behind bars. The song of Vande Mataram, which had infused the country with the energy of freedom, upon completing 100 years, unfortunately exposed a dark chapter in our history," he added.
वंदे मातरम् की 150 वर्ष की यात्रा अनेक पड़ावों से गुजरी है, लेकिन जब वंदे मातरम् के 50 वर्ष हुए, तब देश गुलामी में जीने के लिए मजबूर था।

Addressing the media yesterday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Sambit Patra said the national song continues to symbolise the sacrifices that fuelled India's freedom movement, urging citizens "to relive those times when our ancestors shed blood for this country, chanting Vande Mataram." Patra further said that if "someone needs a dictionary to understand Vande Mataram, he isn't a legacy-maker," adding that the song's meaning and emotional resonance were self-evident to generations of freedom fighters.
"Three points are noteworthy about Nehru from Sachiv Bhattacharya's book: First, he read the English version of Anand Math six days before the CWC meeting, even though it was translated into Indian languages at the time... If someone needs a dictionary to understand this much (Vande Mataram), then he isn't a legacy-maker," said Patra, sharpening his attack on Jawaharlal Nehru, directly quoting the historian's account, "Most importantly, he said that Vande Mataram is going to irritate the Muslims. This was Nehru's false sense of secularism. Tomorrow, when there will be a discussion in Parliament on Vande Mataram, I feel that the legacy of Nehru will again be a subject of debate, discussion and might be exposed..."
