SC rejects plea against govt's order on playing full 6-stanza 'Vande Mataram'

Supreme Court rejected a plea challenging Ministry of Home Affairs advisory regarding all six stanzas of 'Vande Mataram' to be sung first when played with National Anthem at government events. The court termed it "premature" and based on "vague apprehension of discrimination" noting that it was only advisory. "Please come to us when you are discriminated," it told the petitioner.
