Nov 07, 2025

Speaking to ANI, Thakur said, "On one hand, the BJP and the entire country are celebrating the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram as the Amrit Utsav of this Amrit Kaal. On the other hand, some people are trying to forget it, trying to erase it. During the tenure of their governments, it was not made mandatory in schools, it was removed from the secretariat, there is no place for Vande Mataram in the programs of those parties, and these parties are none other than the family and party that remained in power for a long time, by whom a concerted effort has been made to forget Vande Mataram.
