Amit Shah Nehru Vande Mataram Edit: In Rajya Sabha, Amit Shah alleged that Nehru made edits in Vande Mataram and Congress suppressed the voice for years. Shah said that questions should not be raised on the respect of the national song. Political controversy intensifies over the statement.
New Delhi. A statement by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Rajya Sabha has again sparked debate across the country. Shah said that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had edited parts of Vande Mataram and this wrong step later led to the partition of the country. He alleged that Congress had suppressed the country’s voice on this issue for many years and tried to downplay the importance of Vande Mataram. Shah clearly said that Vande Mataram is not just a song, but is the identity of the country’s soul and sacrifice. After his statement the political atmosphere suddenly became heated, and now the question is arising – was there something hidden in history which is being brought to the fore today?
Did Nehru really make changes in Vande Mataram? Why did this question arise suddenly?
Speaking in the Rajya Sabha, Amit Shah said that some people were asking why Vande Mataram was being discussed. He said that this discussion was necessary at that time, is necessary even today, and will remain so in future too, because it is an issue related to the identity of the nation. Shah said that Nehru’s decision changed the original form of Vande Mataram and weakened its importance. This change remained away from people’s knowledge for a long time. He claimed that this decision not only changed the words of the song, but also changed the direction of history.

Did Congress suppress the voice of the country for decades? Shah’s serious allegation
Amit Shah said that it was difficult to talk openly on this subject during the Congress rule. His allegation was that Congress silenced those who raised questions on Vande Mataram for years. According to Shah, Vande Mataram is the slogan that comes out even in the last breath of any soldier. He said that this song should never be seen from a political point of view. But, Congress reduced its glory by making it controversial.
Is this issue related to Bengal elections? Or is there something bigger hidden?
Some opposition leaders said that this debate is being raised so that political advantage can be taken in the upcoming Bengal elections. But Shah rejected this claim and said that Vande Mataram definitely has its roots in Bengal, but its importance is in the entire country. He said it is wrong to link it only to regional politics and it hurts its dignity.
Could partition have been avoided? Shah’s biggest and mysterious claim
The most controversial part of Amit Shah’s statement was that if Nehru had not made changes in Vande Mataram, the partition of India might not have happened. This claim is not only political but also rekindles many old questions of history.
Vande Mataram: Not just a song, the oldest slogan of patriotism
Shah said in his speech that Vande Mataram is not an ordinary song. These are the same words that a soldier utters before being shot at the border. He described this song as the soul of India and said that this discussion is necessary for our national consciousness.
Opposition reaction: Is the government rewriting history?
Congress and other opposition parties have completely rejected Shah’s statement. He says that the government is looking at history from a political perspective and is trying to give it a new shape. At the same time, BJP says that the truth should come out now, no matter how old it is. Amit Shah’s statement has once again made Vande Mataram a topic of nationwide discussion. The role of Nehru, the policy of Congress, and the real story of Vande Mataram – all these questions are going to be hotly debated in the coming days.
