‘Vande Mataram is not a yardstick of nationalism’ | Asaduddin Owaisi | Lok Sabha | Maktoob

Video Description

AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi warned in Parliament that pressuring citizens to recite Vande Mataram creates an unconstitutional loyalty test and distorts patriotism. He said no government can force religious symbolism in the name of nationalism, arguing that such coercion violates fundamental freedoms and excludes millions. Owaisi said linking patriotism to a song rooted in religious imagery betrays the ideals of Gandhi, Ambedkar and Tagore. His remarks sparked heated exchanges, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh claiming the song has been “treated unfairly,” while opposition leaders said it is now being used to divide rather than unite.
