The Congress used to sing Vande Mataram in full and now they only sing the party song, Union minister Kiren Rijiju said today in a jibe at the main opposition party amid the controversy over the national song. “The Congress party used to have full Vande Mataram singing in the past. Now, they “sing only the Congress song. They don’t sing national song in the Congress party. But that was wrong,” he added.
Maybe later on they changed their stand, he told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
The Congress used to sing Vande Mataram in full and now they only sing the party song, Union minister Kiren Rijiju said today in a jibe at the main opposition party amid the controversy over the national song.
And everybody must sing it… the government has decided that full Vande Matram must be sung, why should anybody have any objection?”. “With regards to the controversy in the Congress office… She was trying, she was telling that she was looking for a chair to make Kharge ji sit. But I think one must see the entire proceedings… then one will understand that Sonia Gandhiji seemed to be agitated that the full song was being played. “The Prime Minister has very clearly referred that the armed Naxal is almost extinct. The dimaagi Naxals still exist and we have to tackle them. “By firing bullets. Peaceful protesters were killed. “This time when this cockroach party had taken out this kind of a protest, it was absolutely peaceful. Not a single lathi charge, nothing.
Because “these are the essence and the spirit of our nation, rijiju said the national song or national anthem cannot be politicised,.
And Rahul ji probably had said something that no need to sing,” he said. Rijiju, however, clarified that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Deemagi Naxal” comment was not directed at the Congress. If any opposition leader or any Indian feels that it is addressed towards him, then he must be a Naxal or dimaagi Naxal,” he said. Asked about the protests spearheaded by the Cockroach Janata Party, Rijiju said one should recall how the Congress used to handle protests in its time. Hundreds and hundreds of people were killed during Congress time,” he said. When they tried to use the students to further their political agenda, then there were some disturbances, but still the police and the administration was absolutely professional in handling the entire thing,” he said.
