New Delhi: The Congress party on Monday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi the "master distorian" after he accused the party of fragmenting the national song Vande Mataram. Congress demanded an apology from Modi for what they described as "insulting" India’s founding fathers, including Rabindranath Tagore.

AICC general secretary for communications, Jairam Ramesh, criticised Modi on X, stating, "The Master Distorian has repeated his insult of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore today in Parliament. The Master Distorian of a PM must render an apology. He has insulted our founding fathers and most of all Tagore himself." Ramesh also shared pages from the authoritative Bengali biography of Tagore, "Rabindra-Jeebanee" by Prabhat Kumar Mukhopadhyay.
