Karnataka BJP MLA Walks Out of Event Over National Song Stanzas
A BJP MLA from Karnataka, Goolihatti Shekar, walked out of a government event after only the first two stanzas of the national song 'Vande Mataram' were sung. The incident occurred during a program in the Chitradurga district. Shekar reportedly expressed his dissatisfaction, stating that the entire song should be recited. Meanwhile, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Karnataka High Court challenging a state government order that directed the singing of only the first two stanzas of 'Vande Mataram'. The PIL seeks to ensure the full rendition of the national song.
