Karnataka govt limits Vande Mataram to 2 stanzas, barring VVIP functions

Karnataka's Congress government has ordered singing only two stanzas of Vande Mataram. This directive applies to state government programmes and functions held across Karnataka. The decision follows a Union home ministry guideline for singing all six stanzas. The state government aims for uniformity and appropriate protocol during national song renditions. This move occurs amidst a political controversy surrounding the national song's singing.
