Delhi/Hyderabad, Aug 20 (Maxim News): After senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar welcomed the Congress Working Committee’s (CWC) resolution on ‘Vande Mataram’, Union Minister Giriraj Singh called the former, a “puppet” and “parrot” of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
A day ago, the CWC resolved to continue following a tradition established through a 1937 CWC decision, under which only the first two stanzas of ‘Vande Mataram’ are recited at Congress events.The decision assumes significance as the Centre has recently made the complete rendition of the national song part of official protocol.
Speaking with press persons, earlier in the day, Aiyar said: “I am very happy that yesterday the Congress decided in a firm manner that we will sing only the first two verses of ‘Vande Mataram’. Because in 1937, I believe, it was decided on the advice of gurudev Rabindranath Tagore that we would sing only the first two stanzas. And today, we are following the same path again.”
Responding to it, Giriraj Singh said: “He is a puppet. He is Rahul’s parrot. What Rahul Gandhi teaches him, he will say just that.” (Maxim News)
