“Some people in the opposition are saying that the discussion on Vande Mataram was held because of the Bengal elections. That is wrong. Vande Mataram completed 150 years on November 7. How can we decide on this date? If (the national song) has completed 150 years now, the discussion will also be held now. We do not fix dates for such events, we celebrate them here after attending the Parliament meeting,” he told NDA reporters from Rijiju.
