Yuva Shakti, highlighting the contribution of India’s young population to the country’s journey towards becoming a Viksit Bharat by 2047.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="15"/>Parliament recently passed the Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill, extending legal protection to Vande Mataram against acts of insult and placing the national song on a legal footing similar to that of the national anthem.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="17"/>The legislation triggered a brief political debate in the Lok Sabha, with the DMK opposing it and accusing the government of using the national song to “divide” the country.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="19"/>The BJP, however, defended the amendment, saying it would ensure that citizens can show respect to Vande Mataram without hindrance.</div> </div> <p>[ad_2]<br /> <br /><a
