Jail up to 3 years, fine for insulting Vande Mataram: Amit Shah to introduce Bill in Parliament Monsoon Session
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will introduce a Bill in the Rajya Sabha on Monday to amend the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971, to include Vande Mataram. If passed, the amendment would impose penalties of up to three years in jail and fines for insulting or disrupting the national song, marking the first statutory protection for Vande Mataram. This initiative aligns with the government's efforts to enhance national pride and recognition of the song's historical significance.
