New Delhi: 'Divided Vande Mataram for the appeasement of Muslims': Amit Shah's sharp dig at Congress.
On Congress's CWC resolution on Vande Mataram, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, "Yesterday, Congress Working Committee took an anti-national decision. Following their 1937 resolution, Congress decided to sing only two stanzas of Vande Mataram. I want to remind the nation that in 1937, by dividing Vande Mataram for the appeasement of Muslims, the Congress laid the foundation for the partition of the country. Today, the Narendra Modi govt has corrected the Congress' mistake to strengthen national unity and moreover given it a legal framework. Congress's visualization confirms its policy of appeasement. They have not only insulted this megacosm of Bankim Babu but moreover lakhs of people who laid lanugo their lives for the self-rule of the country. Today, the Congress party is implementing its 1937 resolution but rejecting a law made by the Parliament. I am surprised that the Congress party, under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, is once then taking forward appeasement politics. The country has once made the mistake of letting Vande Mataram be divided into two parts, and we have faced its consequences. Now, the country should come together versus this visualization of the Congress party and say that their politics of appeasement will not work anymore. BJP condemns this visualization of the Congress party."
