After political row, MHA says Chandigarh proposalstill underreview
The Statesman Delhi
|November 24, 2025
As a major political row erupted in Punjab after the Centre signalled its intent to bring Chandigarh under the purview of Article 240 of the Constitution, a move that would empower the President to directly frame regulations for the Union Territory, the Union Home Ministry on Sunday clarified that the proposal is still under consideration and that it has no intention of introducing any Bill to this effect in the upcoming Winter Session of Parliament.
At present, Chandigarh is administered by the Punjab Governor and serves as the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana.
The reported proposal had triggered strong opposition from the AAP, Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal in Punjab.
In a post on X, PIB-Ministry of Home Affairs said: “The proposal only to simplify the Central Government’s lawmaking process for the Union Territory of Chandigarh is still under consideration with the Central Government. No final decision has been taken on this proposal."
“The proposal in no way seeks to alter Chandigarh’s governance or administrative structure, nor does it aim to change the traditional arrangements between Chandigarh and the States of Punjab or Haryana,” the Ministry said.

The National Song
Tagore, who composed the tune ofthe song in 1896, expressed serious reservations about it and during the celebration of his 70th birthday gave a call for Vande Vratanam instead of Vande Mataram. The Muslims objected to the song also as it was a salutation to Goddess Durga. Orthodox Hindus felt that the song’s historical background and its total integration with the nationalist cause made it ideal as a national anthem. In the midst of this controversy, Subhas Chandra Bose privately solicited Tagore’s views on the song. The poet replied that Vande Mataram was appropriate as part of Anandamath, a literary work, but that it was inappropriate as a National Anthem
