Curated summary
Kerala Health Minister K Muraleedharan said only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram will be sung at government events. His remarks came after a chief secretary order asked for full recitation during Har Ghar Tiranga events, triggering a row over the song’s later stanzas and their Hindu references. Kerala says it will follow its own protocol at state functions.
