The World Hindu Council’s national spokesperson reiterated that no political outfit should demean the national song, especially on the 80th anniversary of India's independence. Bansal labelled the episode as "the highest form of anti‑national behaviour" and warned that the Congress must shed its alleged secessionist mindset, seeking a public apology to restore public trust.
