Delhi/Hyderabad, Sept 14 (Maxim News): The T20 cricket series between India and Afghanistan began on Sunday, September 13. Vande Mataram was sung before the national anthem Jana Gana Mana in the opening match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. This is the first time that Vande Mataram has been sung in an international game. From now on, Vande Mataram will be sung at the beginning of every series, BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) sources said. However, the opposition Congress party, which is opposed to singing all six stanzas of the national anthem, has once again expressed its opposition.
Congress leader Udit Raj questioned the motive behind singing this song. The reason for singing Vande Mataram for no reason is, will it provide employment? Will it strengthen the Indian team? Will it help in the development of science and technology, which is very backward? Will it solve the problems of the Gen Z generation, which has reduced the country’s exports, increased debt, etc.? Udit Raj said. It is known that the Congress party recently decided to limit itself to two stanzas of the national anthem, referring to its 1937 resolution.
It is known that the Union Home Ministry issued guidelines on February 6 on the manner in which the national song Vande Mataram should be sung as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations. According to these guidelines, the song should be sung for 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Everyone present should stand at attention while the song is being sung. It is known that the guidelines have been issued to sing the full song, consisting of six stanzas, before and after the presidential speeches on radio and TV, and when the national flag is being hoisted for a parade.
