“If your father has courage, make me say Vande Mataram”: Cong councillor
A heated exchange unfolded during a meeting of the Indore Municipal Corporation after a Congress councillor made a provocative statement while refusing to say “Vande Mataram.” The remark, delivered in the middle of a confrontation, quickly escalated tensions inside the House.
BJP councillors strongly objected to the refusal, insisting that “Vande Mataram” should be respected in official proceedings. The situation soon turned into a verbal clash between members of the two parties, disrupting the session and forcing interruptions.
The incident has since drawn wider attention, with political voices weighing in on the issue. While some defended the councillor’s stance as a matter of personal belief, others criticized the language used and questioned its appropriateness in a civic setting.
The episode has added to the ongoing political friction, highlighting the recurring debate over nationalism, individual beliefs, and conduct within public institutions.
