Owaisi Opposes Statutory Security for ‘Vande Mataram’
Hyderabad: AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi has actually voiced solid arguments to the Union Cabinet’s choice to provide ‘Vande Mataram’ legal defense matching to the nationwide anthem.
- Owaisi argues ‘Vande Mataram’ is an ode to a siren, conflicting with India’s secular concepts.
- He stated that the nation does not run in the name of a god or goddess and it does not come from one god or goddess.
- He cited historic numbers who reportedly denied the tune.
Telangana BJP Head Of State N Ramchander Rao criticized Owaisi’s stance, accusing AIMIM of viewing social combination as a hazard to spiritual exclusivism and national communication. The Union Cabinet’s choice aims to modify the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971, making blockage of ‘Vande Mataram’ a culpable violation.
