Removal of Vande Mataram stanzas sowed seeds of Partition: PM Modi
PM Narendra Modi said the removal of important stanzas of 'Vande Mataram' song in 1937 also sowed the seeds of partition. "Vande Mataram's soul was removed. Today's generation needs to know that why was this injustice done," he added. BJP leader CR Kesavan had earlier claimed that in 1937 Congress "deliberately removed" stanzas of Vande Mataram which hailed 'Ma Durga.'
