Amit Shah, the national president of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is on a two-day tour of West Bengal. In a program organized by Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Research Foundation in Kolkata, he has blamed the Congress for dividing the country’s people. He also accused Congress for dividing the nation through the national anthem ‘Vande Mataram’. Amit Shah said, ‘In 1937, Congress accepted’ Vande Mataram ‘and even gave him the title of National Anthem. But its first two stanzas were accepted and the rest were abandoned. Had the Congress leaders not committed this mistake, the country would not have been divided. Cong introduced appeasement policy with this step, that later led to country’s division. Vande Mataram wasn’t, & still isn’t related to any religion. There’s no attempt to show anyone in a bad light. But Congress gave a nod to controversy some people created by linking it to religion, he continued.
Earlier, BJP president Amit Shah and BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya met with the party’s IT cell in West Bengal. Malviya has asked the IT cell to take the Centre’s projects to the masses through social media.
