West Bengal government mandates singing Vande Mataram in all State-run schools during morning assembly

Suvendu Adhikari, West Bengal Chief Minister, issued an order mandating the singing of Vande Mataram in all state-run schools during school assembly prayers. This order overrides a previous directive requiring schools to sing the state song, Banglar Mati, Banglar Jol. The move comes amidst political tensions surrounding the national song's recognition and follows a BJP campaign highlighting alleged neglect by the Trinamool Congress government.
