Vande Mataram ends after 2 stanzas in Karnataka Assembly and Council; BJP legislators recite full version
In Karnataka’s state legislative assembly and council, officials played only the first two verses of the national song Vande Mataram. Members of the Bharatiya Janata Party responded by singing the complete composition themselves and chanting slogans criticizing the government for truncating the anthem. The incident highlighted partisan public disagreement over the handling of the patriotic song.
