Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday accused the Congress of “shamelessness” over an alleged attempt to stop the rendition of Vande Mataram midway during the party’s Independence Day programme, saying the “sin” would not be forgiven by the people.
“Look at their (Congress's) shamelessness. The anthem Vande Mataram was being sung at the Congress Party headquarters. During the anthem, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi told the Congress President to stop singing. We all just kept watching on TV,” Shah said.
“Sonia ji, 140 crore people are watching you. This sin you have committed will never be forgiven by the people of this country. How can anyone even dream of leaving the anthem Vande Mataram incomplete? The people of Congress should feel ashamed,” he added.
