'Vande Mataram' restored

By Our Staff Correspondent

JAIPUR DEC. 12. The Bharatiya Janata Party-led Government in Rajasthan has ordered the recital of Vande Mataram every morning in the hostels run by the Social Welfare Department.

The superintendent of a hostel in Jalupura was suspended for failing to implement the decision. The Social Welfare Minister, Madan Dilawar, said in Kota on Thursday that the Department had been on a ``constant decline'' during the past five years of the Congress rule and the Government would strive to restore it to the status of 1998, when the BJP was voted out of power. The previous Congress regime had abolished several practices initiated by the BJP, including the singing of Vande Mataram everyday.
