Let us know the complete and detailed story of this political drama.

‘Vande Mataram’ echoed in live debate, Congress leader’s style surprised

This entire incident happened during the ongoing prime time debate on a reputed news channel, where spokespersons and leaders of various political parties were debating on contemporary issues. During the discussion, a heated exchange broke out on some topic, after which the atmosphere became quite heated. Amidst this chaos, the leader representing the Congress party, keeping his point in a different style, started singing the entire ‘Vande Mataram’ in the studio itself. This scene of a leader of a mainstream political party singing this national anthem with full enthusiasm on live television was completely unexpected even for the anchor and other panelists present there. As soon as the video clip of this incident came on social media platforms, it spread like wildfire and various types of reactions started coming from the general public.

BJP leader Radhika Kheda’s reaction: sarcasm with praise

After this incident came to light, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Radhika Khera gave her strong and cheeky reaction on it. He said during an interview that it was indeed a pleasant surprise to hear the entire ‘Vande Mataram’ from the Congress leader and he has to be praised for it. However, Radhika Kheda did not stop here and took advantage of this opportunity to launch a strong political attack on the Congress party and its top leadership. He tauntedly said that if such party leaders are showing such patriotism and respect for cultural symbols on the ground, then they should first teach the same to their central leadership i.e. Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. The BJP leader alleged that the top leadership of the Congress often seems uncomfortable on such issues, hence it is a rare political sight to see their leaders doing so.

Debate and public reactions on social media

As soon as this video went viral on social media, a heated debate broke out among netizens. On one hand, Congress supporters appreciated this presentation of their leader and called it a symbol of cultural unity, while on the other hand, opposition supporters called it just a political stunt. A round of memes and debates started on this issue on the internet. Political analysts believe that in today’s era, political parties often resort to such cultural and symbolic issues to gain electoral and ideological gains. This entire incident once again proved how national symbols and songs have become a major source of war of words between parties and political profit and loss in Indian politics.
