The Indian National Congress party has formally established its roadmap for the upcoming post-monsoon session of Parliament. Party leadership identified several high-priority issues intended to challenge the government, most notably the recent series of competitive examination paper leaks and the upcoming delimitation process, which involves redrawing electoral boundaries.

In addition to these policy-focused objectives, the party addressed cultural and procedural matters. The Congress leadership clarified its stance on the singing of 'Vande Mataram' during legislative proceedings. The party stated it will adhere to a policy of singing only the first two stanzas of the national song. According to the party, this decision is based on historical precedent, citing that this specific format was observed by Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore. This move appears intended to preempt potential controversy regarding nationalistic symbols during the session.

The roadmap reflects the party's broader strategy to balance national policy critiques with cultural positioning. While the focus remains on administrative failures like the paper leaks, the inclusion of the 'Vande Mataram' issue suggests the Congress is attempting to define its own parameters for patriotic expression to avoid being put on the defensive by political opponents.
