BJP passes resolution against Congress decision to sing only 2 stanzas of Vande Mataram

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday passed a resolution condemning the Congress Working Committee's (CWC) decision to sing the first two stanzas of the national song 'Vande Mataram' at its programmes. "[We resolve] to reject every attempt to subordinate the National Song to communal pressure, political appeasement or narrow vote-bank considerations," the BJP said in the resolution.
