“Now, Vande Mataram will be sung in an impressive manner with the participation of a police band and common people in it. On the first working day of every month, a police band will march from Shourya Smarak to Vallabh Bhavan at 10.45 am playing the tune to arouse a feeling of patriotism,” the directorate of public relations tweeted.

State BJP vice-president Vijesh Lunawat said: “The state government’s decision to resume singing of Vande Mataram came due to BJP raising the issue and exerting pressure on the government. Also, by taking a U-turn within 48 hours of his earlier decision CM Kamal Nath has proved that his decision to suspend Vande Mataram was wrong.”
