Advocates of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill, 2026, maintain that this legislation is vital for preserving national pride and unity. By extending legal protections to Vande Mataram, the bill ensures that the national song is accorded the same respect and reverence as the national anthem. Supporters argue that this measure will deter acts of disrespect and help foster a strong sense of national identity among citizens. They believe the amendment is a necessary step to protect national symbols from desecration and to uphold the constitutional values.
