Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi accused PM Modi of selectively quoting Jawaharlal Nehru's 1937 letter to Subhash Chandra Bose during the Lok Sabha Vande Mataram debate. She stated "communalists manufactured" objections to remaining stanzas, which Modi omitted. Earlier, Modi claimed Nehru accepted Jinnah's sentiments, suggesting Vande Mataram's Anandamath association could instigate Muslims. Priyanka noted only two stanzas were adopted in the assembly where Ambedkar and RSS leader Shyama Prasad Mukherjee were present, questioning why they didn't object then. She challenged the government to list Nehru's "blunders" for parliamentary debate. Speaker Om Birla opened discussions commemorating Vande Mataram's 150-year journey as India's timeless symbol of national resolve.
