Karnataka Assembly: Vande Mataram Ends After Two Stanzas | Is This Not Disrespect To Bharat Mata?

BJP legislators then continued by singing the remaining stanzas in the House.The incident comes amid a Karnataka government directive providing for only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram at general government functions, while allowing all six stanzas at events attended by the President, Vice-President, Prime Minister or Governor. The directive has also been challenged before the Karnataka High Court.The episode has reignited a wider debate over Vande Mataram, national symbols, political tradition, religious sensitivities and the meaning of respect for Bharat Mata.Why was the song stopped after two stanzas?
