Tharoor questions Vande Mataram mandate, asks if patience can be forced
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has raised concerns regarding the new rule requiring the full version of the national song to be performed at the start and conclusion of official functions. Tharoor noted that singing the entire Vande Mataram takes three minutes and ten seconds. He questioned whether it is possible to legislate respect and patience. He further expressed his worry that the goal of fostering deeper reverence for the National Song through this mandate will likely fail.
