Kerala Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has expressed displeasure over 'Vande Mataram' not being sung in full in the state Legislative Assembly during the policy address of the United Democratic Front (UDF) government.
The Governor said proper protocol should be followed whenever the Governor is present at official functions. He said that in the Assembly, the song was only played and not sung. Rajendra Vishwanath added that he has already spoken to the Assembly Speaker, Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan, on the matter and expects the issue to be addressed. Before and after Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar's policy address in the Kerala Assembly, a band team performed the opening stanzas of Vande Mataram.
While, Senior party leader and Kazhakkoottam MLA V Muraleedharan stated that defying the central directive to sing Vande Mataram in full at events attended by the Governor is ‘an insult to Lok Bhavan and the Honourable Governor’.
