Vande Mataram debate: PM Modi corrects himself from ‘Bankim da’ to ‘Bankim babu’ after TMC objects

During a discussion on Vande Bharat in Parliament today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to Bankim Chatterjee as “Bankim Dada.” TMC MP Saugata Roy immediately corrected him, saying it should be “Bankim babu.” Modi paused, acknowledged the correction and instantly rephrased it as “Bankim babu.”

Prime Minister then turned to Roy and said, “Thank you, Dada, thank you. Aapko toh Dada keh sakta hoon na?”
