West Bengal government has made singing of 'Vande Mataram' mandatory in government schools from May 18 via official school dept circular order. The directive requires the song to be played during morning assemblies before the national anthem. BJP president Samik Bhattacharya welcomed the decision, saying it would promote Bengali culture and honour Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay’s composition.
