A row has erupted in Kerala following a government directive mandating the full version of Vande Mataram to be sung during Independence Day celebrations. The directive requires all government departments to ensure the complete song is performed at official events alongside the national anthem. Opposition leaders have demanded the immediate withdrawal of the order, arguing that singing the complete song departs from accepted secular practices and aligns with an ideological agenda.
Historically, only the initial lines were sung at official functions to suit the secular fabric of the nation. The move has drawn sharp criticism from opposition political factions across the state.
