Himachal Assembly Adjourned Amid Dispute Over Vande Mataram Singing Protocol
The Himachal Pradesh Assembly's Monsoon Session was adjourned within minutes due to a dispute over the singing of the National Song, Vande Mataram. BJP legislators demanded it be sung at the session's start, citing a new central law, while the Speaker and ruling Congress maintained the tradition of singing it at the session's conclusion. The Speaker emphasized adherence to established rules, and both parties accused each other of disrespecting national symbols. The session was adjourned amid protests and counter-sloganeering.
