Thiruvananthapuram/Kasaragod: Kerala Health Minister K Muraleedharan and Congress MP Rajmohan Unnithan on Sunday said the full version of Vande Mataram would not be sung at Kerala government programmes. Muraleedharan said the state would continue its existing practice of singing only the first two couplets of the national song at government functions.
