राष्ट्रगान पर बवाल: भाजपा सांसद विश्वेश्वर हेगड़े कागरि के बयान से घमासान

BJP MP and former Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri has sparked controversy with his remarks on the national anthem. Speaking at the Rashtriya Ekta Yatra (National Unity March) organized by the taluk administration at the Police Parade Ground in Honnavar, Uttara Kannada district, Kageri stated that “Jana Gana Mana” was originally a song written to welcome the British. He further added that there has long been a demand to make “Vande Mataram” the national anthem instead. His comments have triggered sharp reactions, with many questioning whether the sitting MP’s statement amounts to an insult to the national anthem. Kageri made the remarks while emphasizing the need for an Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) during the event.
