Gorakhpur, Feb. 15 -- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ravi Kishan on Sunday expressed support for the Union government's recent notification on Vande Mataram, stating the move reflects the aspirations of the country's younger generation.

Kishan told ANI, "Everyone should read those verses. Every youth of the country wants the verses recited at the time of independence to be remembered, and, along with 'Jana Gana Mana', everyone should also memorise Vande Mataram. The youth have welcomed this."

Earlier on Friday, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya welcomed the Union Home Ministry's directive mandating the singing of all six verses of Vande Mataram before the national anthem, calling it a "matter of pride".
