Congress adopted truncated Vande Mataram in 1937 out of communal agenda: BJP
BJP IT department head Amit Malviya alleged that the original version of Vande Mataram had been truncated because Nehru himself explained to Jinnah that "certain stanzas were objectionable to Muslims." "In a letter to Jinnah dated 25 October 1937, Nehru wrote that only the first two verses of Vande Mataram would be used because the later portions contain certain allusions which might offend the susceptibilities of our Muslim friends," Malviya claimed.
