MP govt puts on hold singing of Vande Mataram at Secretariat
The song 'Vande Mataram' was not sung in the Madhya Pradesh Secretariat on January 1 as the new government put on hold the long-standing tradition of singing it on the first working day of every month. Reacting to criticism from the BJP, CM Kamal Nath said, "Those who do not recite 'Vande Mataram' are not patriots?"
