Amit Shah Demands Congress Apology Over Alleged Vande Mataram Insult

In India, there is a very special song called 'Vande Mataram' that people sang long ago while the country was fighting to be free.

Every year on August 15, India celebrates Independence Day, the day the country became free.

A big leader named Amit Shah said that during the Congress party's Independence Day celebration, a lady named Sonia Gandhi told people to stop singing the song halfway.

He said the Congress should say sorry to the person who wrote the song, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, and to all the people of India.

But the Congress party says that is not true - they say Sonia Gandhi was only asking for a chair for the party chief, who had been standing for a long time.

Another leader whose family member wrote the song also asked for an apology.

Some Congress leaders say the people complaining are just trying to distract everyone from other problems.

The gathering where Amit Shah spoke was also to remember another former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and a statue of him was revealed.

Many people across the country are watching, and the two big political groups do not agree about what really happened.
