Why Congress will sing only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram — and what the other four say
The Congress Working Committee decided to sing only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram, adhering to a 1937 resolution supported by leaders like Gandhi and Bose. This decision follows recent BJP criticism regarding the song's rendition at Congress events. The controversy continues amidst new government protocols mandating all six stanzas be sung at official functions.
