class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>The development comes amid a political row over the rendition of \u2018Vande Mataram\u2019, after Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said the full version of the song \u201csits uneasily\u201d with the syncretic and pluralist ethos envisioned by India\u2019s freedom fighters.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Venugopal urged Congress allies to respect the version of the national song adopted by the party in 1937, saying the decision to use only the first two stanzas at official party programmes was aimed at preventing the song from being \u201ccommunalised\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>His remarks came after Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah stood through the full rendition of \u2018Vande Mataram\u2019 at the inaugural International Film Festival in Srinagar.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The issue has also drawn criticism from the BJP, with Union home minister Amit Shah earlier targeting the Congress over its adherence to the 1937 position and accusing the party of pursuing appeasement
