BJP Passes Resolution on 'Vande Mataram', Condemns Congress over Decision to Sing only Two Stanzas
The party said it will educate younger generations about the song’s six verses and history after condemning Congress’s two-stanza limit.
- On Saturday, August 22, 2026, the Bharatiya Janata Party passed a resolution in New Delhi condemning the Congress Working Committee's decision to limit Vande Mataram to two stanzas at party events.
- The Congress Working Committee reaffirmed its 1937 resolution on August 19, limiting Vande Mataram to two stanzas, a move the BJP claims subjects the national song to 'communal pressure, political appeasement or narrow vote-bank politics.'
- BJP president Nitin Nabin vowed to protect the 'honour, dignity, heritage and national character of the Purna Vande Mataram,' including disseminating Mahatma Gandhi's description of Vande Mataram as an 'anti-imperialist slogan.'
- Nabin announced a nationwide campaign to spread Vande Mataram's 'glorious heritage' across India, targeting younger generations to ensure the complete six-verse song and its independence history are remembered.
- The party declared that 'no compromise on the honour, legacy of Vande Mataram will be accepted for political convenience or appeasement,' positioning the resolution as a firm defense against dilution of the national song's historical standing.
