PM is India's greatest distorian: Congress recalls Vande Mataram row
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of distorting history and bringing disrepute to figures like Rabindranath Tagore during the discussion on "Vande Mataram" in Parliament last month. Ramesh also alleged that Modi is systematically demolishing Mahatma Gandhi's legacy, citing the repeal of MGNREGA as an example. He pointed out that Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose played a key role in resolving the controversy surrounding the later verses of "Vande Mataram" and chose "Jana Gana Mana" as the national anthem. Ramesh further stated that Modi is India's greatest distorian, highlighting the ongoing political debate over the song's history and its significance.
