The Rajya Sabha had a long debate about the national song, Vande Mataram.

The BJP accused the Opposition of not respecting the song.

Some people said the song should inspire us to solve real problems.

Others talked about how the song was used during the freedom struggle.

The Congress said their leaders were jailed for singing Vande Mataram, while the BJP's predecessors worked for the British.

The debate also included discussions about the history of the song and who should be recognized as freedom fighters.
