Nagpur, 21 Aug

(HS): Nagpur’s Mayor Nita Thakre expressed discontent over violation of rules by

the administration by reciting only two stanzas of the National Song ‘Vande

Mataram…’ instead of complete six stanza, after the general body meeting.

Thakre wrote a

letter to the Municipal Commissioner Dr Vipin Itankar demanding action against

those responsible for it. Nagpur Municipal Corporation is ruled by Bharatiya

Janata Party. The meeting was held on Thursday.

Thakre in her

letter has mentioned that reciting all six stanzas is mandatory. President

Droupadi Murmu has consented to the Prevention of Insult to the National Song

2026, on August 11, 2026.

Reciting only

two stanzas amounts to insult to the National Song and required action against those

responsible for it.

The issue of hot

discussion in the political circles since Thursday.
