Bhubaneswar, September 8,2006 (VISAKEO): while Vande Mataram echoing the whole Nation, few people and educational institutes have shown disinterest to the National Song. Right from the Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh and Congress High Command Mrs. Sonia Gandhi to the local units of the State have boycotted to uphold the dignity of Vande Mataram’s birth anniversary yesterday.
Following to the Emperor of India, few schools have been exempted to recite Vande Mataram in a chorus form. Madrasa School in Kakatpur stands first in this regard. It is allegedly said because of early school schedule the students and teacher were left to their homes. Similarly, teacher’s absence on that day led to cancellation of the National Song in Balipatana and Balakati. Further this Song has been disobeyed in most of the Primary schools in Nirakarpur. Even Nimapada Primary School had announced that day as a holiday to avoid the recitation of the Song.
In spite of direction of the Center most of the schools even the Prime Minister and personality like Sonia Gandhi whose in- laws were once upon a time involved in the freedom struggle have disrespected the National Song and did not take part in the recitation yesterday.
But, most of the Muslims were curious about an auspicious occasion and attended and recited the Song at Master Canteen Square in Bhubaneswar at 11 a.m on the day before. Nothing is above the Homeland, said emotionally one of a Muslim. We have sacrificed our blood to bring back freedom in the Country and Vande Mataram is not restricted to one particular religion, this country is ours and this Song is ours too, said Sahabudhin pointing out the protestant of Vande Mataram.
Chinmayee Dash.
