The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the central government regarding petitions challenging the mandatory singing or playing of all six verses of Vande Mataram. The case relates to Home Ministry orders dated January 28 and July 9, 2026, mandating the six-verse version on specified occasions. Petitioners argue this affects religious freedom, freedom of expression, and secularism. The court has not yet ruled on these claims.
