Lucknow, Apr 8 (IBNS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday attacked those who are refusing to sing the Vande Matram.

Yogi Adityanath said it reflected 'narrow-mindedness'.

"Today, a problem can be witnessed where some people are saying they will not sing Vande Matram," the CM said.

Speaking at a book release function, the Chief Minister said: "We are looking forward to progress in the 21st century.But today we are witnessing a debate over whether or not we should sing the National Song."

"This is a matter of deep concern. We need to find out ways to overcome narrow-mindedness," Yogi Adityanath said.

The Chief Minister made the remarks at a time when some corporators in Meerut refused to sing the national song.

The Samajwadi Party corporators in Allahabad and Varanasi protested against a proposal which aimed to make singing of the national song compulsory, media reports said.
