BJP leader Amit Malviya says Sonia Gandhi appeared agitated during the singing of Vande Mataram, claiming she tried to stop the song from continuing beyond the initial stanzas. He describes her reaction as visible during the event.
Congress denies the claim. The two sides present competing interpretations of what happened during the song, with the BJP emphasizing Gandhi’s alleged attempt to halt the continuation and the Congress rejecting any wrongdoing or interference. The reports describe the dispute as a political exchange rather than a confirmed account of any action taken, focusing on observed expressions and timing.
Overall, the outlets frame the incident as a claim-and-denial confrontation between BJP and Congress, with no shared, independently verified details of specific steps Gandhi takes. The disagreement centers on her purported response as Vande Mataram continues during the event.
