Newly elected Member of Parliament from Bengal’s Bashirhat, Nusrat Jahan chanted Vande Mataram after taking oath during the ongoing Lok Sabha session.

Nusrat Jahan though steered clear of any such controversy and chanted Vande Mataram at the end of her oath which she took in Bengali.
Jahan who got recently married to businessman Nikhil Jain wore bangles, sindoor and a bindi while sporting a saree in the parliament. Jahan, a popular Bengali actress was elected from Bashirhat on a Trinamool ticket.
