With the Rajya Sabha passing the Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill, 2026, in the Rajya Sabha, India has corrected a historic wrong. For decades, Vande Mataram inspired countless freedom fighters to lay down their lives for Bharat. Yet, in the run-up to Partition, the Congress chose the path of appeasement. At its 1937 convention, it agreed to restrict the public rendering of Vande Mataram by dropping portions of the song after objections were raised, a decision that eminent historian Jadunath Sarkar lamented as a needless retreat from India’s civilisational self-confidence. He regarded the song as a powerful expression of India’s national awakening and criticised attempts to diminish its place in public life. Today, that chapter has been decisively reversed. By extending to Vande Mataram the same statutory protection that the National Anthem already enjoys under the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, Parliament has reaffirmed that India’s national symbols are not negotiable and cannot be subjected to political expediency. Deliberate insult to the National Song will now attract the same legal consequences as insult to the National Anthem. From appeasement to affirmation, from compromise to conviction, Bharatvarsh has indeed come a long way. Vande Mataram is not merely a song, it is the soul of India’s freedom struggle, and today the nation has ensured that it receives the honour it has always deserved.

Akhilesh Yadav Ji’s sudden growing concern for India’s education system is ironic. Let’s talk facts. In 1993, Rajnath Singh Ji introduced the Anti-Copying Law, the Samajwadi Party opposed it and promised to repeal it, if voted to power. They institutionalised Malpractice. Hypocrisy at its peak.

लोकसभा में "लोक परीक्षा (अनुचित साधन निवारण) संशोधन विधेयक, 2026" का पारित होना इस बात का प्रमाण है कि देश के युवाओं का हित और उनका उज्ज्वल भविष्य मोदी सरकार की सर्वोच्च प्राथमिकता है। इस संशोधन के तहत स्पेशल फास्ट-ट्रैक कोर्ट का गठन, पेपर लीक के दोषियों के लिए 10 साल तक की सजा और 10 करोड़ रुपये तक के जुर्माने का प्रावधान किया गया है। यह कड़ा कानून युवाओं के भविष्य से खिलवाड़ करने वालों के खिलाफ सरकार की जीरो टॉलरेंस नीति को दर्शाता है। यह बिल प्रत्येक मेहनती अभ्यर्थी के विश्वास को मजबूत करने और प्रतिभा के सम्मान के प्रति मोदी सरकार की दृढ़ प्रतिबद्धता का प्रतीक है।

#WATCH | Delhi: Over Rahul Gandhi's comments on Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Parliament, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju says, "We are extremely upset with Rahul Gandhi for two reasons. Number one, as a leader of opposition, Rahul Gandhi could not speak even on one point in the paper leak bill... Secondly, he misled by using unparliamentary words and also by wrongly accusing the Home Minister. The Home Minister or any other minister do not give an order for firing. These are not in the domain of the ministers. These are the orders to be passed by the magistrate or the SDM who are present at that particular place... How can he not know this basic thing?.. Rahul Gandhi has trapped himself very badly... I feel sorry for him. As a parliamentary affairs minister, I always look forward to the leader of the opposition making some substantive intervention. But he failed it. So I am upset."
