]]> The Ministry of Home Affairs has issued a new set of instructions regarding the performance of the National Song and the National Anthem. According to the directive, whenever the National Song “Vande Mataram” and the National Anthem “Jana Gana Mana” are performed or played together, all six stanzas of the National Song written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay must be sung first.

For the first time, the Ministry has defined a specific protocol for singing “Vande Mataram”. These rules apply to official programs such as the arrival of the President, the hoisting of the National Flag, and speeches by Governors.

In such instances, all six stanzas of the National Song, which have a total duration of three minutes and ten seconds, must be performed. This order was officially released on January 28.

The guidelines further state that the school day must begin with the singing of the National Song. The Ministry emphasized that whenever the National Song is played, everyone present is required to stand in an attentive posture to show respect. However, an exception is made for cinema or documentaries; if the National Song is played as part of a film or newsreel, the audience is not expected to stand.

]]> Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia questioned as to why PM Narendra Modi’s interaction with the District Magistrates was aired live on TV. Sisodia tweeted “In today’s meeting, the Prime Minister’s statement was aired live on TV. He had objected to the last meeting by CM Arvind Kejriwal. Today’s protocol allowed for live broadcast?”

This was a remark in context to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s protocol statement on April 23 when Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal aired few of his comments live on Social media while on a meeting with the Prime Minister. “This is a violation of the protocol. Such official meetings cannot be broadcast,” PM had then said.  Later, Kejriwal had also apologized for the same.

The tweet came in shortly after the Prime Minister’s meeting with the District Magistrates and Chief Ministers of the worst hit districts aired live on TV. Sisodia tweeted asking,” How to know which meeting can be broadcasted live, which one cannot?”
