Supreme Court Seeks Centre's Response on 'Vande Mataram' Status and Singing Pleas
The Supreme Court has sought the Centre's response on multiple petitions concerning the status and mandatory singing of 'Vande Mataram.' One plea seeks to transfer a Delhi High Court PIL to the Supreme Court, aiming to grant the song equal status to the national anthem and mandate its daily singing in schools. Other petitions challenge government orders requiring all six stanzas of 'Vande Mataram,' arguing they promote religious division and violate constitutional secularism. The court has scheduled further hearings and tagged related cases together.
