Kharge defends Congress practice of singing two Vande Mataram stanzas
- Congress President Kharge on Tuesday said singing two stanzas of Vande Mataram was the same practice followed by Gandhi and Nehru.
- Kharge said Congress passed a resolution on national songs before BJP leaders were born, rejecting government interference in national practices.
- The 1937 Congress resolution accepted only the first two stanzas as later stanzas contain references to Hindu deities.
- The row began after Sonia Gandhi was seen gesturing during Vande Mataram at Congress headquarters on Independence Day.
