Indian Muslims protest against Vande Mataram singing
ISLAMABAD—In India the president of Uttar Pradesh Imams Organisation
Mufti Zulfiqar has said forcing people to sing Vande Mataram would
create more controversy.
According to the web edition of Times of India he said nobody should be
forced to sing the song.
Darul Uloom Deoband has alleged that some Hindu organisations including
BJP are creating an emotive issue on the singing of Vande Mataram to
divide communities for their vested interest.
He said Vande Mataram was under controversy since 1876 as it was against
the tenets of the Shariat law to worship sky and soil.—APP
