Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge challenged the BJP to file legal cases against Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru if they intend to prosecute Congress leaders over Vande Mataram.
The controversy erupted after a police complaint was filed in Delhi against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, alleging they disrupted the national song during a recent event in Goa.
Kharge dismissed the BJP's accusations as politically motivated, asserting that Congress leaders have consistently followed the same version of the song as established by national icons.
