PIL challenges Karnataka order limiting Vande Mataram to two stanzas at govt events
- A PIL has challenged Karnataka’s order restricting Vande Mataram to its first two stanzas at most state events.
- The order applies to official programmes unless the President, Vice-President, Prime Minister or Governor is present.
- The petitioner argues Karnataka cannot decide the version of the National Song, citing Parliament’s exclusive powers.
- The plea also cites a July 9 Home Ministry communication calling for the official six-stanza version to be sung.
