Parliament Debates 150 Years of 'Vande Mataram': A Celebration of Legacy

As Parliament prepares to commemorate 150 years of 'Vande Mataram', BJP MP Sambit Patra underscores its historical significance, crediting the BJP government for reviving suppressed heroes. The session, expected to be initiated by PM Modi, invites a deep dive into the song's enduring impact and complex legacy.

Just hours before the Lok Sabha convenes for an important discussion on the 150th anniversary of 'Vande Mataram', BJP MP Sambit Patra emphasized the national song's symbolic value in India's struggle for independence. He urged citizens to reflect on the sacrifices made by freedom fighters who chanted these iconic words.

As Parliament gears up to celebrate this milestone with a dedicated debate, Patra commended the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for highlighting national figures marginalized by past political regimes. He remarked that these efforts have restored historical figures like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to their deserved prominence.

The discussions on 'Vande Mataram', widely anticipated across the nation, are expected to rekindle a spirit of unity and cultural resurgence. BJP leaders hope the event will transcend political divides and focus on national development, as the song's legacy continues to inspire, drawing parallels between the past fight for independence and today's quest for social freedom.
