Rajya Sabha nominated MP Sudha Murty on Tuesday urged the government to make it compulsory to sing the national song ‘Vande Mataram’ in primary and high schools.

Participating in a discussion commemorating the 150th anniversary of the song, Murty said, “I am standing here not as an MP, philanthropist or author. I am standing here as a daughter of Mother India or Bharat Mata." Describing India as a quilt where each state is a coloured piece of cloth, she said the thread and needle that binds them together is Vande Mataram.

“It is not the map or flag, but the concept of land as motherland. It is not just a piece of land, it is the motherland," she said.
