"The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today, August 22, 2026, passed an important resolution regarding the respect for Vande Mataram and the protection of its historical legacy," Nabin said.
The BJP "strongly condemns and unequivocally opposes" the decision of the Congress Working Committee on August 19, 2026, reaffirming its 1937 resolution, limiting the singing of Vande Mataram to only the first two verses at Congress functions, he said.
The BJP will oppose any attempt to subject the national song to "communal pressure, political appeasement or narrow vote-bank politics", Nabin said.
"No compromise on the honour, legacy of Vande Mataram will be accepted for political convenience or appeasement," he added.
Nabin said the BJP will launch a campaign to spread the history, meaning, national significance and glorious heritage of Vande Mataram to every corner of India.
"BJP will protect the honour, dignity, heritage and national character of the Purna Vande Mataram," he said.
The BJP will also disseminate Mahatma Gandhi's statement in which he described Vande Mataram as an "anti-imperialist slogan" associated with the "purest national sentiment".
The ruling party also resolved to launch an awareness campaign, especially among the younger generation, so that the complete national song, comprising six verses, and its history are not forgotten, and future generations can understand the memories of India's independence associated with Vande Mataram, Nabin said.
