Vande Mataram row: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday filed a police complaint against Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi for allegedly “disrespecting” the national song during the Independence Day celebrations on Saturday. The complaint has been filed at Mangaluru police station in Karnataka.
The controversy erupted after a video surfaced on X showing Gandhi and party president Mallikarjun Kharge speaking among themselves while the national song was being played. The BJP alleged that Gandhi gestured to stop the rendition rather than allow it to be played in full.
