‘Vande Mataram’ at Red Fort
Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday said the national song ‘Vande Mataram’ will be collectively sung from the ramparts of the Red Fort before the National Anthem on Independence Day.
On X, Gupta described the occasion as a “glorious and historic moment” and said it would be the first time that a collective rendition of ‘Vande Mataram’ would take place at the Red Fort before the National Anthem.
Gupta said ‘Vande Mataram’ has been an “immortal national mantra” of India’s independence movement, inspiring revolutionaries and giving voice to the sacrifices of freedom fighters.
She also linked the event to the 150th anniversary of ‘Vande Mataram’, the resolution passed in Parliament and the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying the developments would mark a “grand proclamation” of India’s national memory, cultural pride and devotion to the country.
“Vande Mataram. Jai Hind, Mother India!” Gupta said in her post.
