The Telangana BJP has appealed to Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla to instruct the Assembly Speaker to suspend AIMIM MLAs for their behavior towards the national song in the Assembly. A delegation of BJP leaders, led by state President N. Ramchander Rao, met the Governor and submitted a memorandum seeking action against the AIMIM MLAs. The BJP highlighted that during the budget session on March 16, AIMIM members walked out of the House while Vande Mataram was being recited, which was recently declared the national song by the Union Home Ministry.
The BJP emphasized the historical significance of Vande Mataram in India’s freedom struggle and condemned the AIMIM MLAs’ actions as disrespectful and dishonorable. The party accused the AIMIM MLAs of showing contempt towards national symbols and questioned their patriotism. The BJP urged the Governor to direct the Assembly Speaker to take appropriate measures, including the suspension of AIMIM MLAs who left the Assembly during the recitation of Vande Mataram.
The BJP called for exemplary action to be taken against those who show disrespect towards national symbols and songs. The party expressed concerns over the AIMIM MLAs’ attitude towards national importance and symbols. The memorandum submitted to the Governor highlighted the need to uphold respect for national symbols and the importance of patriotism among public representatives.
