BJP stages protest in Hubballi over alleged curtailment of Vande Mataram
Members of the Bharatiya Janata Party gathered in Hubballi, Karnataka, to protest what they described as an attempt to limit the singing of the national song Vande Mataram. The party said the alleged curtailment violated patriotic sentiment and called on authorities to ensure the song’s unrestricted use in public events and institutions, and urged the state government to reverse any directives that restrict its performance.
