Supreme Court Seeks Centre's Response on Pleas Regarding 'Vande Mataram' Status and Usage
The Supreme Court has sought the Centre's response on a plea to transfer a public interest litigation from the Delhi High Court, seeking equal status for the song 'Vande Mataram' alongside the national anthem. The plea argues the song symbolizes India's history and unity and calls for its promotion in schools. Separately, the court also considered petitions challenging government orders mandating the six-stanza version of 'Vande Mataram,' which critics describe as a divisive religious war song potentially harming communal harmony.
