Karnataka Limits Vande Mataram To First Two Stanzas

The Karnataka government has ordered that only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram be sung at most official state events. However, all six verses will be sung when the President, Prime Minister or Governor attends, or at Central government programmes. The move comes amid a political dispute with the BJP over the national song.
