'Rahul mian' can't grasp Vande importance: Nitin Nabin

NEW DELHI: A day after Congress took exception to J&K CM Omar Abdullah and his father Farooq Abdullah standing during the full rendition of Vande Mataram, BJP on Wednesday attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for opposing the full version of the national song and dubbed him "Rahul mian".BJP president Nitin Nabin targeted the main opposition party at a presser in Delhi and stepped up his attack at a BJP event in Haldwani in Uttarakhand. BJP has said Congress's stand is driven by its appeasement of Muslim voters, a section of which considers Vande Mataram idolatrous in violation of their religious beliefs.Congress general secretary K C Venugopal Tuesday said on social media, "With respect and humility, we would like our allies to honour the wisdom and judgment of our freedom fighters, and stand with us in singing only the version of this beautiful and historic song that they adopted.
