Bengaluru: Pan India Actor Kishore Kumar has criticised what he calls an attempt to use the national song Vande Mataram for political gain by dividing people on religious lines.

On Thursday, he posted on Facebook a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaking in the Lok Sabha, with the caption ‘Jai Shri Ram to Vande Mataram.’ In his post, Kishore said the song, which once energised the freedom movement and united people across India, was now being turned into a tool for political advantage.

He wrote that expressions once used to welcome others with love were being taken over and converted into war cries and weapons of hatred, especially against Muslims. Just as this shift happened, he said, those in power who had no role in the freedom struggle and had no hesitation in selling what true patriots created, were now trying to appropriate a song used by freedom fighters.

Kishore also said many serious issues such as the falling value of the rupee, the state of the economy, weakening democratic institutions, what he called false GDP claims, unfulfilled promises to farmers, healthcare challenges, unemployment, situations in Manipur and Ladakh, and the arrests of scientists and scholars were being ignored.

According to him, the government had shown that it was unable to deal with real problems. He said their only approach now was to divide people and distract them, expressing his frustration over the current political climate.
