Minister Vishwas Sarang Slams Congress Over Vande Mataram Song Controversy in Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh minister Vishwas Sarang publicly criticised the Congress party for its stance on singing two verses of the national song ‘Vande Mataram’. In a statement released in Bhopal, Sarang alleged that the party’s opposition to the rendition was an attempt to fracture the country's unity and integrity.
He asserted that any move to restrict or question the singing of ‘Vande Mataram’ directly attacks the spirit of national cohesion, which he described as sacrosanct. Sarang warned that such actions could set a dangerous precedent for communal and political discord.
The minister’s remarks came amid ongoing debates over the song’s usage in public events and schools. No official response from the Congress was recorded at the time of reporting.
Political analysts note that the episode reflects broader tensions between the ruling state government and opposition parties over symbols of national identity.
