Congress raises ‘vote chori’ and Delhi blast during Vande Mataram discussion

:::: "Vande Mataram gave us strength to face challenges" - PM Modi 

The Congress deputy leader in Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi mentioned the ‘vote chori’ allegations, the Delhi blast incident, and the fall in the value of the rupee during the Vande Mataram discussion, saying the government was not ready for discussions. BJP MPs and Jagdambika Pal, who was chairing the discussion, opposed this and asked the MP to focus on the topic of discussion. 

"Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru wrote a letter to Subhash Chandra Bose after Jinnah’s opposition to Vande Mataram, stating that he had read the background of Vande Mataram and thought it might provoke and irritate Muslims," PM Narendra Modi said.

 He added that they would examine the use of Vande Mataram, and that too in Bankim Chandra’s Bengal," he said.

The PM said that the Congress did 'tukde tukde' of the national song and Jawaharlal Nehru claimed that Vande Mataram could incite Muslims.

As chants of “shame, shame" erupted in Lok Sabha, PM Modi said “some forces carried out vishwas ghaat" (betrayal) of the national song in the last century.

"Ye hamari swatantrata ka mantra tha, balidaan ka mantra tha, ye oorja ka mantra tha, ye saatwikta ka mantra tha, ye samarpan ka mantra tha, ye tyaag aur tapasya ka mantra tha, 

sankaton ko sehne ka samarthya dene ka mantra tha, aur wo mantra Vande Mataram tha," says PM Narendra Modi. 

"... Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru wrote that 'Vande Mataram's background in the Anand Matth can irritate Muslims'...," says PM Narendra Modi. 

He also says, 

"... the Muslim League had started to strongly oppose Vande Mataram. Muhammad Ali Jinnah raised a slogan against Vande Mataram on 15 October 1937 from Lucknow... 

Despite giving a strong and befitting reply to the Muslim League's baseless statements, Nehru started investigating Vande Mataram. Five days after this, Nehru wrote a letter to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose mentioning that he agrees with the feeling of Mohammad Ali Jinnah and wrote, 'Vande Mataram's background in the Anand Matth can irritate Muslims'... 

After this, Congress stated that, from 26 October onwards, in Bengal, the use of Vande Mataram will be analysed... Unfortunately, on 26 October, Congress compromised on Vande Mataram. They bifurcated the song. 

The reason behind the decision was of social harmony, but history has it that Congress had knelt before the muslim league. This was their way to appease minorities... 

Later, Congress had to kneel and agree to the partition of India... Congress policies are still the same, and along the way, the Indian National Congress has become the Muslim League Congress (MLC). 

Even today, Congress and its allied parties oppose Vande Mataram and try to create controversy around it."    

During debate in Lok Sabha on 150 years of 'Vande Mataram, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav says, "Vande Mataram united the country and energised the freedom struggle...The ruling side always wants to own everything...".
