										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The Congress party has initiated its &#8216;Mission 100&#8217; campaign in Jaipur in preparation for the upcoming municipal corporation elections. This announcement was made by Sunil Sharma, the President of the Jaipur District Congress, on August 24, 2026, during a press conference. The primary objective of this campaign is to secure victory in 100 of the 150 seats available in the municipal elections in the city.</h4>
<h4>During the press briefing, Sharma indicated that the party&#8217;s ambitions stretch beyond simply functioning as a robust opposition. The Congress aims to establish its governance within the civic body, signalling a proactive approach to local politics. The &#8216;Mission 100&#8217; initiative seeks to mobilise party workers at the booth level in a concerted effort to bolster the overall campaign strategy.</h4>
<h4>Sharma further noted that the campaign is intended to facilitate direct engagement with the citizens of Jaipur. By doing so, the Congress intends to highlight local issues and focus on developmental concerns that affect the community.</h4>
<h1>Strategy for Ticket Distribution</h1>
<h4>Addressing the strategy for the allocation of tickets for the municipal polls, Sunil Sharma clarified that the selections would not be swayed by personal recommendations or external pressures. The Congress party prioritises candidates demonstrating a genuine commitment to serving Jaipur and who have proven their dedication by working closely with the populace over an extended period.</h4>
<h4>The criteria for ticket distribution primarily include the candidates&#8217; grassroots connections, public acceptance, commitment to the party, and previous work within their communities. The Congress plans to endorse individuals who not only have the potential to win their respective elections but who can also effectively advocate for public concerns as councillors.</h4>
<h4>This strategic approach aims to ensure that the candidates selected are well-versed in local issues and are capable of addressing them promptly if elected. The Congress is strongly focused on increasing its presence within the municipal landscape of Jaipur.</h4>
<h1>Organisational Preparations for Elections</h1>
<h4>To further bolster its efforts for the municipal elections, the Congress party has established several organisational committees. Key figures, including former Cabinet Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas along with MLAs Rafiq Khan and Amin Kagzi, have been assigned significant roles in shaping the election strategy and preparations.</h4>
<h4>Through these committees, the Congress aims to evaluate the electoral landscape on a ward-by-ward basis. This includes identifying potential candidates, coordinating with party workers, and systematically formulating robust election strategies. The Congress intends to reinforce the entire electoral process, encompassing all aspects from ticket allocation to campaigning.</h4>
<h4>Sunil Sharma reiterated that the desire for change among the people of Jaipur is palpable. He conveyed the message that the party is approaching these municipal elections with the intention of delivering meaningful change. The &#8216;Mission 100&#8217; campaign is positioned not merely as a slogan but as a concrete and measurable electoral objective for the party.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Congress MP Pawan Khera has publicly condemned the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regarding the uproar over a fish feast that was organised during a welcome event for Ajay Rai, the Congress chief of Uttar Pradesh, in Ayodhya. Khera alleges that such controversies are deliberately stirred up to distract from pressing issues, specifically referencing ongoing paper leak scandals.</h4>
<h4>During a recent statement, Khera remarked that the focus on the fish feast serves as a diversion from crucial problems affecting the public domain. He highlighted that when the topic of Ayodhya is mentioned, it often evokes memories of donation misappropriation, questioning whether a mere fish dish can overshadow such significant issues.</h4>
<h4>Khera further commented on dietary choices, suggesting that just because certain segments of society, like those in Nagpur, oppose fish consumption, it should not dictate the culinary preferences of others. He noted that Ajay Rai is a vegetarian and questioned the implications of having a fish dish at the gathering.</h4>
<h1>Local Religious Figures React to the Feast</h1>
<h4>The controversy intensified following the release of a video depicting fish being prepared at a banquet facility in Ayodhya for Rai&#8217;s welcome event. This prompted backlash from various local religious leaders who objected to the meal arrangements, given that the event occurred during the sacred month of Sawan.</h4>
<h4>In response to the uproar, BJP MP Ashok Bajpai accused the Congress party of disrespecting religious sentiments by hosting a fish feast in Ayodhya, which is known for its religious significance to Hindus. He argued that while individuals have the right to choose their diets freely, such actions in a location of profound religious importance are bound to incite criticism from local communities.</h4>
<h4>Bajpai also alleged that the incident illustrates Congress&#8217;s tendency towards appeasement politics and suggested that it reflects an &#8220;anti-Hindu&#8221; ethos prevalent within the party. His remarks indicate a belief that political actions should align with prevailing cultural and religious sentiments.</h4>
<h1>Defending Congress&#8217;s Stance on Monopolies</h1>
<h4>Khera reiterated that the Congress has consistently expressed its concerns about monopolies and their detrimental effects on the economy. He reiterated the importance of fair competition and emphasised that allowing one entity to dominate an industry is harmful to national interests.</h4>
<h4>On the matter of the meeting between Adani and Shivakumar, which took place at the Chief Minister’s residence in Bengaluru, there has been no official comment released from Shivakumar. The lack of statements has left many observers speculating about the discussions held and the implications for industrial policy in Karnataka.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>कांग्रेस मुख्यालय में स्वतंत्रता दिवस के मौके पर वंदे मातरम् को लेकर विवाद और बढ़ गया है। कांग्रेस की कार्यसमिति ने 1937 में पारित प्रस्ताव का पालन करने का फैसला किया है, जिसके अनुसार वंदे मातरम् के केवल शुरुआती दो पद गाए जाएंगे। इस निर्णय ने राजनीतिक गलियारों में हलचल मचा दी है।</h5>
<h2>धर्मेंद्र प्रधान का तंज: वोट बैंक की राजनीति का आरोप</h2>
<h5>पूर्व केंद्रीय शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान ने इस फैसले को लेकर कांग्रेस पर हमला बोला है। उन्होंने कहा कि कांग्रेस ने एक बार फिर &#8216;तुष्टीकरण और वोट बैंक की राजनीति&#8217; का रास्ता अपनाया है। धर्मेंद्र ने यह भी कहा कि वंदे मातरम् देश के गौरव का प्रतीक है और इसके पूर्ण गान से पीछे हटने का फैसला कांग्रेस की पुरानी राजनीति की पुनरावृत्ति है।</h5>
<h2>वंदे मातरम् का महत्व: राहुल गांधी को संदेश</h2>
<h5>धर्मेंद्र प्रधान ने बताया कि वंदे मातरम् ने स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन में राष्ट्रभक्ति और स्वाभिमान की लौ जगाई थी। उन्होंने कहा, &#8220;कांग्रेस का तुष्टीकरण फिर सामने है और वंदे मातरम् का अपमान देश की एकता को कमजोर करने की एक कोशिश है।&#8221; उन्होंने कांग्रेस नेतृत्व को चुनौती दी कि वे देश के राष्ट्रीय गौरव और वोट बैंक में से क्या चुनेगा।</h5>
<h2>इतिहास से सीखने की जरूरत</h2>
<h5>धर्मेंद्र ने 1937 में कांग्रेस द्वारा वंदे मातरम् को सीमित करने के निर्णय को याद करते हुए बताया कि उस वक्त की तुष्टीकरण की राजनीति ने देश का बंटवारा कर दिया। उन्होंने कहा कि आज जब वंदे मातरम् के 150वें वर्ष का जश्न मनाया जा रहा है, तब कांग्रेस का वही देशविरोधी चरित्र सामने आ रहा है।</h5>
<h2>राष्ट्रीय सम्मान पर कोई समझौता नहीं</h2>
<h5>धर्मेंद्र ने कांग्रेस के नेताओं को स्पष्ट किया कि राष्ट्रीय सम्मान और एकता किसी भी वोट बैंक से बड़े हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि देश वंदे मातरम् के सम्मान से कोई समझौता नहीं करेगा। इसके अलावा, उन्होंने राहुल गांधी को भी आगाह किया कि क्या कांग्रेस के लिए राष्ट्रगौरव महत्वपूर्ण है, या केवल वोट बैंक की राजनीति।</h5>
<h2>कांग्रेस का असली चेहरा</h2>
<h5>धर्मेंद्र ने बताया कि कांग्रेस की हालिया कार्रवाई देश को जोड़ने के बजाय तोड़ने वाली है। उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि कांग्रेस के लिए यह आवश्यक है कि वह इतिहास से सबक लें और ऐसे निर्णय न लें जो देश की एकता को नुकसान पहुंचाएं।</h5>
<h2>राजनीतिक विवाद बढ़ता गया</h2>
<h5>कांग्रेस और भाजपा के बीच यह विवाद अब एक नए स्तर पर पहुंच चुका है। जहां कांग्रेस अपने निर्णयों का बचाव कर रही है, वहीं भाजपा इसे तुष्टीकरण की राजनीति के रूप में देख रही है। अब देखने वाली बात होगी कि इस मुद्दे पर राजनीतिक दल किस प्रकार अपनी रुख अपनाते हैं।</h5>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Amit Shah has condemned the Congress party for allegedly disregarding the importance of &#8220;Vande Mataram&#8221;, a patriotic song integral to India&#8217;s freedom struggle. In his statements, he stressed that such actions are an affront to those who fought and sacrificed their lives for the nation’s independence.</h4>
<h4>Shah&#8217;s remarks were made during a public address where he highlighted the significance of national anthems and songs in fostering patriotism. He asserted that the Congress should be more respectful towards India&#8217;s heritage and the sentiments of its people, as failure to do so undermines the sacrifices made by freedom fighters.</h4>
<h4>The issue appears to have sparked considerable debate within political circles, with Shah positioning his party as a staunch advocate of Indian national identity and unity through cultural symbols. This stance is intended to resonate with citizens who value patriotism and honour the legacy of independence activists.</h4>
<h1>Political Ramifications and Reactions</h1>
<h4>The Congress party has yet to issue a formal response to Shah&#8217;s allegations, which adds to the existing tensions between the two major political factions in India. Political analysts suggest that the controversy surrounding Vande Mataram could have implications for upcoming electoral strategies, as parties seek to capitalise on nationalist sentiments.</h4>
<h4>Within Congress, members are reportedly discussing how best to frame their stance on the issue, balancing respect for freedom fighters while addressing the sentiments expressed by the public regarding national pride. The internal discussions reflect unease about how the party is perceived in relation to patriotic icons.</h4>
<h4>In the broader context, this confrontation is part of a series of events that has examined the role of cultural heritage in contemporary politics. Analysts believe that the outcome of this dispute could affect voter sentiment, particularly among younger demographics who are increasingly engaged in discussions about patriotism and national identity.</h4>
<h1>Vande Mataram’s Historical Importance</h1>
<h4>&#8220;Vande Mataram,&#8221; originally written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, holds a significant place in India’s fight for independence, serving as a rallying cry for nationalists during British colonial rule. It symbolises the struggle and resilience of the Indian people, which adds emotional weight to the current political discourse.</h4>
<h4>The significance of the song has evolved over time, making it a touchstone of national pride. However, its recitation has been contentious at various points in history, including debates over its inclusion in public cultural contexts. Shah&#8217;s comments re-energise these discussions as they evoke deep-rooted sentiments tied to India’s history.</h4>
<h4>Many citizens observe the recitation of &#8220;Vande Mataram&#8221; as a means of expressing their commitment to the country. This has led to a diverse array of responses from the public, some supporting the call for its greater recognition while others expressing concerns over the potential politicisation of a cultural symbol.</h4>
<h4>As political parties continue to navigate these sensitive issues, the debate surrounding &#8220;Vande Mataram&#8221; exemplifies the tension between cultural heritage and contemporary political manoeuvring. It remains to be seen how both parties will address this pivotal cultural issue as they prepare for future engagements with the electorate.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Sajjan Kumar, a former Member of Parliament associated with the Indian National Congress, passed away at the age of 80 while serving his sentence in Tihar Jail. He had been convicted for his role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots that erupted in the aftermath of the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The riots resulted in the deaths of thousands of Sikhs, and Kumar was sentenced to life imprisonment for his involvement in inciting violence.</h4>
<h4>In December 2018, the Delhi High Court upheld his conviction and sentence, asserting that Kumar had played a significant role in orchestrating the violence against the Sikh community. This ruling followed a lengthy judicial process, which initiated the legal proceedings against him in 2005 based on evidence presented by various witnesses and victims.</h4>
<h4>Kumar&#8217;s conviction highlighted the broader issue of accountability for the violence that ensued during the riots, prompting discussions about the justice system&#8217;s effectiveness in addressing communal violence. Kumar&#8217;s legal battles were widely covered in the media, capturing public attention and leading to renewed calls for justice regarding the 1984 events.</h4>
<h1>Life and Political Career of Sajjan Kumar</h1>
<h4>Sajjan Kumar was born in 1946 in Delhi and became an active member of the Indian National Congress, serving multiple terms as an MP for the Outer Delhi constituency. Throughout his political career, he held various positions within the party and local government, gaining influence in the region. His political journey began in the late 1970s, becoming notable for his associations within the Congress party.</h4>
<h4>Despite his early success in politics, Kumar&#8217;s career faced significant scrutiny following the 1984 riots. The allegations against him led to a decline in his political standing and contributed to his eventual conviction. His reputation was permanently tarnished, and he was expelled from the Congress party following his conviction, which marked a stark turnaround from his earlier prominence in Indian politics.</h4>
<h4>Kumar’s death in Tihar Jail not only marks the end of his life but also raises questions regarding the implications of his conviction on historical narratives surrounding the 1984 riots. The consequences of his actions have left a lasting impact on the Sikh community and have been a topic of ongoing debate and reflection in India&#8217;s socio-political landscape.</h4>
<h1>Reactions to Sajjan Kumar&#8217;s Death</h1>
<h4>The news of Sajjan Kumar’s demise has elicited varied reactions from different quarters of society. Some members of the Sikh community expressed a sense of closure following his passing, viewing his death as a final chapter in the long struggle for justice concerning the anti-Sikh riots. Victims and their families have consistently sought recognition for the atrocities committed during that period, and Kumar&#8217;s conviction was seen as a critical milestone in their pursuit of accountability.</h4>
<h4>Conversely, some political figures have chosen to highlight the need for comprehensive reforms to ensure justice for victims of communal violence, asserting that the legal system must continue to address such issues with vigour. Kumar’s life and subsequent fall from grace serve as a reminder of the enduring scars left by the riots and the importance of acknowledging historical injustices.</h4>
<h4>The unfolding narrative surrounding Kumar&#8217;s death is likely to reignite discussions around the 1984 riots, as it remains a deeply poignant event in India’s history. Researchers, historians, and activists may now reevaluate the socio-political dynamics that contributed to such communal tensions, aiming to ensure that lessons are learned to prevent similar occurrences in the future.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>नई दिल्ली: कांग्रेस कार्यसमिति (CWC) की महत्वपूर्ण बैठक बुधवार को दिल्ली के इंदिरा भवन में आयोजित की गई। इस बैठक में कुल 88 नेता शामिल हुए, जिनमें कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष मल्लिकार्जुन खरगे, राहुल गांधी, सोनिया गांधी, प्रियंका गांधी वाड्रा और चार कांग्रेस शासित राज्यों के मुख्यमंत्रियों का महत्वपूर्ण स्थान था। बैठक चार घंटे तक चली, जिसमें 33 नेताओं ने अपने विचार रखे। बैठक के बाद कांग्रेस महासचिव जयराम रमेश और संगठन महासचिव केसी वेणुगोपाल ने प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में चर्चा की।</h5>
<h2>छात्रों की समस्याओं पर बड़ा अभियान</h2>
<h5>कांग्रेस ने देश के 800 छोटे-बड़े शहरों में &#8216;छात्रों की गूंज&#8217; अभियान चलाने का फैसला किया है। इस अभियान के माध्यम से वह पेपर लीक, प्रतियोगी परीक्षाओं, रोजगार और छात्रों से जुड़े मुद्दों को राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर उठाएगी। विशेष रूप से राहुल गांधी का इस अभियान में कई शहरों में भाग लेना सुनिश्चित किया गया है। कांग्रेस ने इस मुद्दे पर गहरी चिंता जताई है और छात्रों के हितों के लिए लड़ाई जारी रखने का संकल्प लिया है।</h5>
<h2>मुख्यमंत्रियों को शिक्षा सुधार की जिम्मेदारी</h2>
<h5>मल्लिकार्जुन खरगे ने चारों कांग्रेस शासित राज्यों के मुख्यमंत्रियों को शिक्षा व्यवस्था में सुधार के लिए जरूरी निर्देश दिए हैं। उन्हें पेपर लीक और अन्य समस्याओं की समीक्षा करके एक महीने के भीतर रिपोर्ट पेश करने के लिए कहा गया है। यह कदम शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में सुधार की दिशा में महत्वपूर्ण है।</h5>
<h2>राम मंदिर चंदे पर खिलाफत</h2>
<h5>बैठक में राम मंदिर चंदे में alleged हेरफेर के मुद्दे पर चर्चा की गई। कांग्रेस ने इस मामले को जनमानस के बीच पहुंचाने और विभिन्न राज्यों में प्रदर्शन करने का निर्णय लिया है। केसी वेणुगोपाल ने कहा कि हम इस मुद्दे को जनता के बीच लायेंगे ताकि इसे हल किया जा सके।</h5>
<h2>प्रधानमंत्री से माफी की मांग</h2>
<h5>खरगे के हल्द्वानी कार्यक्रम के बाद &#8216;शुद्धिकरण&#8217; के मुद्दे पर भी चर्चा की गई। कांग्रेस ने मांग की है कि प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी इस घटना की निंदा करें और इसके लिए माफी मांगे। पार्टी का कहना है कि यह एक महत्वपूर्ण मुद्दा है और इसे गंभीरता से लिया जाना चाहिए।</h5>
<h2>वंदे मातरम् के प्रस्ताव पर सहमति</h2>
<h5>कांग्रेस ने वंदे मातरम् को लेकर 1937 के प्रस्ताव का पालन करने का निर्णय लिया है। महासचिव जयराम रमेश ने स्पष्ट किया कि कांग्रेस के कार्यक्रमों में केवल दो अंतरे गाए जाएंगे। यह निर्णय पार्टी के लिए भावनात्मक महत्व रखता है।</h5>
<h2>चीन के मुद्दे पर केंद्र सरकार की आलोचना</h2>
<h5>CWC बैठक के बाद केसी वेणुगोपाल ने अरुणाचल प्रदेश में चीन के alleged अतिक्रमण पर केंद्र सरकार को घेरा। उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि सरकार इस विषय पर चुप्पी साधे हुए है और इसकी विदेश नीति में सुधार की जरूरत है।</h5>
<h2>महिलाओं के आरक्षण पर जोर</h2>
<h5>बैठक में परिसीमन के मुद्दे पर भी चर्चा हुई, जिसमें कांग्रेस ने तमिलनाडु सरकार के प्रपोजल की सराहना की। पार्टी ने मांग की कि मौजूदा लोकसभा सीटों पर महिलाओं के लिए एक-तिहाई आरक्षण लागू किया जाए। यह कदम महिलाओं की राजनीतिक भागीदारी को प्रोत्साहित करेगा।</h5>
<h2>संगठन सृजन में प्रगति</h2>
<h5>कांग्रेस ने संगठन सृजन अभियान के</h5>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>नई दिल्ली: वंदे मातरम् को लेकर चल रही बहस के बीच बुधवार को कांग्रेस वर्किंग कमेटी (CWC) की महत्वपूर्ण बैठक हुई। इस बैठक में यह तय किया गया कि कांग्रेस के कार्यकर्ता वंदे मातरम् के मात्र पहले दो पैरे गाएंगे। कांग्रेस महासचिव जयराम रमेश ने प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में बताया कि 1937 में जो प्रस्ताव पारित हुआ था, कांग्रेस उसी का पालन करेगी। इस प्रस्ताव का समर्थन बड़े नेताओं जैसे महात्मा गांधी, पंडित नेहरू, सरदार पटेल, और सुभाष चंद्र बोस ने किया था।</h5>
<h2>1937 का है ऐतिहासिक प्रस्ताव</h2>
<h5>CWC की बैठक के बाद जयराम रमेश ने स्पष्ट किया कि कार्यकर्ताओं को इस मुद्दे पर कोई भ्रम नहीं होना चाहिए। उन्होंने कहा कि कांग्रेस 1937 के प्रस्ताव के अनुसार वंदे मातरम् के शुरुआत के दो पैरे गाएगी। इसके साथ ही केसी वेणुगोपाल ने कहा कि बैठक में 88 से अधिक लोग उपस्थित थे, जो पार्टी के वरिष्ठ सदस्य थे। इस बैठक का उद्देश्य केवल वंदे मातरम् नहीं, बल्कि अन्य मुद्दों पर भी चर्चा करना था।</h5>
<h2>शिक्षा सुधार और अन्य महत्वपूर्ण मुद्दे</h2>
<h5>बैठक में यह सहमति बनी कि पूरे देश के लगभग 800 शहरों में &#8216;छात्रों की गूंज&#8217; कार्यक्रम का आयोजन किया जाएगा, जिसमें राहुल गांधी भी शामिल होंगे। कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष मल्लिकार्जुन खरगे ने मुख्यमंत्रियों से कहा है कि वे एक महीने के भीतर शिक्षा और परीक्षा प्रणाली में सुधार के सुझाव दें। इस दौरान नेता विपक्ष राहुल गांधी ने भी अपनी बात रखी।</h5>
<h2>राम मंदिर के मामले में प्रदर्शन की योजना</h2>
<h5>कांग्रेस ने राम मंदिर में &#8216;चढ़ावा चोरी&#8217; के मामले में सभी राज्यों में प्रदर्शन करने का फैसला किया है। यह कदम पार्टी की सामाजिक जागरूकता बढ़ाने के उद्देश्य से उठाया गया है। CWC की बैठक में चीन और अमेरिका के मुद्दों को लेकर भी गहरी चिंता व्यक्त की गई। इन तथ्यों के आधार पर पार्टी अपने आगामी आंदोलनों की योजना बनाने जा रही है।</h5>
<h2>कांग्रेस की माफी की मांग</h2>
<h5>CWC की बैठक के बाद कांग्रेस ने अपने आधिकारिक सोशल मीडिया अकाउंट से पीएम मोदी से हल्द्वानी में खरगे के भाषण के बाद मंच शुद्धिकरण मामले में माफी की मांग की है। यह मांग पार्टी की स्पष्टता और कार्यकर्ता एकता का संकेत है।</h5>
<h2>लोकसभा सीटों पर सहमति बनी</h2>
<h5>इसके अलावा परिसीमन के मुद्दे पर भी चर्चा हुई। CWC सदस्यों ने सहमति जताई कि कांग्रेस लोकसभा में सीटों की संख्या 543 रखने पर सहमत है। यह निर्णय आगामी चुनावों के लिए तैयारियों का हिस्सा है। CWC की बैठक में लिए गए फैसले पार्टी के आगामी वक्तव्य और रणनीतियों को स्पष्ट करते हैं।</h5>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The controversy surrounding the full rendition of Vande Mataram persists, as the Congress party continues to sing only the first two stanzas of this national song. This decision comes despite a recent legislative mandate requiring the full version to be performed. The ongoing debate highlights differing interpretations of national symbols within political contexts.</h4>
<h4>At a party event held in Goa on August 17, 2026, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge was present when only the initial two stanzas were performed. This choice appears to reflect the Congress party&#8217;s enduring stance on the issue. It suggests a deliberate decision not to adhere to the new legal requirements established regarding the national song.</h4>
<h4>Sources have indicated that this move may signify the party&#8217;s intention to uphold its current position, marking a continued resistance to the full rendition. The implications of this ongoing decision extend beyond mere performance; they resonate within broader discussions about national identity and the responsibilities of political organisations.</h4>
<h1>Political Reactions to the Decision</h1>
<h4>The reaction to the Congress&#8217;s adherence to singing just the two stanzas has prompted various responses from political representatives across the spectrum. Supporters of the full rendition have voiced disappointment, claiming that the party&#8217;s actions undermine patriotic sentiment. Conversely, defenders of the Congress stance argue that the choice reflects their commitment to historical context and interpretation of national symbols.</h4>
<h4>Politicians from opposing parties have publicly scrutinised the Congress&#8217;s decision, framing it as an example of a reluctance to evolve with changing national sentiments. These dynamics showcase how the performance of national songs can become a focal point for broader political debates.</h4>
<h4>This situation has prompted discussions among political analysts regarding the implications of such decisions for party image and voter perception. The nuanced relationship between national symbols and political ideologies continues to be a topic of considerable interest, as parties negotiate their positions amid changing societal expectations.</h4>
<h1>Congress&#8217;s Historical Stance on National Symbols</h1>
<h4>The Congress party&#8217;s historical approach towards national symbols, including Vande Mataram, has been complex and multifaceted. Over the years, the party has navigated various interpretations of national identity, often reflecting a broader commitment to cultural pluralism. This perspective contrasts with more rigid views held by some factions within the political landscape.</h4>
<h4>In light of the recent law mandating the full version of Vande Mataram, the Congress&#8217;s decision to limit its singing raises questions about the future of such national symbols in political contexts. The diminishing engagement with the entirety of the song may be perceived as a departure from conventional practices, leading to conversations about what these symbols represent for different communities.</h4>
<h4>As the landscape of Indian politics continues to evolve, the Congress party&#8217;s ongoing stance on Vande Mataram remains a critical element in its public narrative. The ongoing dialogue underscores the importance of understanding and respecting diverse interpretations of national identity, which are key to unifying and diverse societies in contemporary India.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Sudhanshu Trivedi, the National Spokesperson for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has publicly confronted the Congress regarding its response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#8217;s &#8216;Dimagi Naxal&#8217; remark. This exchange follows Modi&#8217;s speech during the Independence Day celebrations, where he spotlighted the government&#8217;s initiatives against Naxalism. Trivedi questioned the Congress party&#8217;s stance on Naxalism, referencing past statements by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as indicative of changing attitudes within the opposition party.</h4>
<h1>Controversy Regarding &#8216;Dimagi Naxal&#8217;</h1>
<h4>During his address at the Red Fort, Prime Minister Modi outlined the challenges posed by Naxalism, labelling the mindset behind it as detrimental to national interests. Trivedi expressed surprise over a response from Congress leader P Chidambaram, stating that within merely 24 hours of the Prime Minister&#8217;s speech, Chidambaram reportedly took pride in being labelled a &#8216;Dimagi Naxal&#8217;. This provocative assertion from the Congress leader has sparked strong reactions within BJP circles, prompting further scrutiny of Congress&#8217;s current policies.</h4>
<h4>Trivedi underscored a significant statement made by Manmohan Singh in 2006, when he described Naxalism as a critical internal security issue in India. The BJP spokesperson used this reference to contrast Singh&#8217;s serious assessment of the threat with Chidambaram’s recent remarks, putting Congress in a position of having to clarify its own stance. &#8220;Who was correct, Dr Manmohan Singh or P Chidambaram?&#8221; he asked during interviews.</h4>
<h4>This political confrontation is set against a backdrop of ongoing debates regarding the effectiveness of the government&#8217;s anti-Naxal measures. While armed Naxalism has been countered, Modi stressed the need for continued vigilance against other forms of anti-national sentiment, prompting discussions among political leaders regarding the implications of such language.</h4>
<h1>Political Reactions and Implications</h1>
<h4>The BJP has argued that Modi’s comments are part and parcel of a broader discourse on national security and ideological integrity. They maintain that the term &#8216;Dimagi Naxal&#8217; refers not to general dissent but specifically to those who may foster anti-national narratives. This perspective firmly positions the BJP in contrast to the Congress, which is defending its right to critique government policies without being associated with extremism.</h4>
<h4>The controversy surrounding the &#8216;Dimagi Naxal&#8217; terminology adds another layer to the long-standing debate on how best to handle left-wing extremism in India. The government&#8217;s recent strategies against Maoist groups, aiming to diminish their influence and geographical reach, have unearthed fresh dialogues about the ongoing security situation in various states.</h4>
<h4>As the political discourse evolves, the Congress party faces pressure to articulate a cohesive response to these allegations and to clarify its position on historical statements made during its regime. The BJP seeks to frame the narrative in a manner that highlights discrepancies in the Congress&#8217;s previous and current positions on national security challenges.</h4>
<h4>This political exchange will likely persist as parties deliberate over Modi’s remarks and grapple with the broader implications of left-wing extremism and the appropriate governmental responses to criticism and dissent in contemporary India. The outcome of these discussions may influence future political strategy and public opinion significantly.</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President BK Hariprasad made headlines on August 17, by equating the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) with groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and the Taliban. According to Hariprasad, all three organisations share the distinction of not being registered in India. This statement was made during a press conference in Bengaluru, where he discussed issues of patriotism and the legal standing of these organisations.</h4>
<h4>While responding to comments made by Mohanan Kunnummal, Vice Chancellor of a university in Kerala, regarding the Vande Mataram controversy, Hariprasad stated that the RSS has historically failed to endorse national symbols, claiming they do not sing Vande Mataram or the national anthem. His statements follow recent allegations made against senior Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi for purportedly disrupting the rendition of Vande Mataram.</h4>
<h4>The comments from the KPCC leader coincide with growing scrutiny over the legal registration status of the RSS, particularly after Priyank Kharge, Karnataka&#8217;s Home Minister, demanded clarification from the RSS on its financial and property dealings.</h4>
<h1>Registration Controversy and Political Tensions</h1>
<h4>The controversy surrounding the RSS escalated when B.L. Santhosh, the BJP&#8217;s National General Secretary (Organisation), asserted that the RSS has functioned without legal registration since its inception in 1925. He claimed that the foundation of the organisation lies in public trust rather than statutory recognition. Santhosh maintained that the RSS has upheld national integrity during key historical events, including Partition, devoid of any official certification.</h4>
<h4>Home Minister Priyank Kharge has responded vigorously by posing critical questions regarding the legality of the RSS&#8217;s operations. He sought to clarify under which laws the RSS exists, the ownership of its extensive properties, and the management of its accounts—including how it receives donations. He emphasised that accountability and legal transparency are essential in light of the organisation&#8217;s growing influence.</h4>
<h4>He stated that history cannot substitute for transparency and underscored the necessity for public accountability as the political landscape evolves. Kharge&#8217;s remarks highlight a significant rift between the Congress party and the BJP, especially concerning the perceived legitimacy of the RSS and its affiliations.</h4>
<h1>Congress Party&#8217;s Stance on Patriotism</h1>
<h4>In his rebuttal to allegations from the BJP and its affiliates, Kharge reiterated that the Congress party does not require validation of its patriotism from entities alleged to have contributed minimally to India&#8217;s freedom struggle. During the same press conference, he asserted that the BJP, along with its youth wing and associated organisations, lacks a credible history of contribution to the nation&#8217;s independence.</h4>
<h4>Following the allegations of President Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi&#8217;s involvement in disruptions during the Vande Mataram rendition, Kharge labelled such accusations as politically motivated. He accused the Sangh Parivar of using national symbols for opportunistic gains, stating that the BJP is allegedly keen on &#8216;weaponising&#8217; national sentiment for political leverage.</h4>
<h4>He cautioned against the BJP&#8217;s strategies that intertwine patriotism with political agendas, reinforcing that the Congress Party stands firm in its commitment to the nation without needing endorsements from organisations with questionable legacies. He called for a focus on genuine governance rather than engaging in political gamesmanship regarding national symbols.</h4>
