Wrote a letter to PM Modi to change the national anthem, Subramanian Swamy created a new controversy

- The song was composed by Rabindranath Tagore

New Delhi on Wednesday, December 2, 2020

Always creating new controversies, BJP leader Dr Subramanian Swamy wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding a change in our national anthem. The letter was later shared on Twitter.

Swamy writes, "On the last day of the Constituent Assembly on November 26, 1949, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the Chairman of the Constituent Assembly, declared the Jana Gana Man ... song as the national anthem without taking a vote. However he also considered the possibility that in the future Parliament could change the words of the song. The song was originally composed in honor of the British monarch who came to India in 1912. The song, composed by Nobel Prize-winning lyricist Rabindranath Tagore, was first sung on December 27, 1911. Many of the places described in this song are no longer in India and many have been renamed. In that case, the words of the song should be changed to a new song and it should be accepted as the national anthem.

No response has been received from any political party or leader in the aftermath of the letter.
