    Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Wednesday contended that he was not present when the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind adopted a resolution at its 30th general session in Deoband on Tuesday asking Muslims not to recite 'Vande Mataram'.

    "Home Minister P Chidambaram was at the JUH conference at Deoband on November 3 between 10 am and 12 noon. No resolution was passed during that period. When he spoke, he was not aware of any resolution relating to Vande Mataram or women's reservation and television," a statement issued by his aide said.

    Besides, the Home Minister was reading from a prepared text and there was no occasion to depart from that text, the statement said reacting to a statement of BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi.

    Through its resolution, Jamiat has asked members of the community not to recite 'Vande Mataram' on the grounds that some verses of the national song are against the tenets of Islam.

    The Jamiat's opposition to the recitation of the song came when it supported seminary Darul Uloom's 'fatwa' (edict) which opposes any prayer involving the song.

    Naqvi had yesterday said the presence of Chidambaram at the programme "gave legitimacy to the resolution...it is a matter of concern."

    live as indianBy: surya | 07-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward oy people of india should respect the national anthem.... if any one says no... just say them to ---------
    National AnthemBy: Ravi | 07-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward The dispute is not on National Anthem Jana Gana Mana, dispute is on Vande Matram which is NOT a National Anthem it's just a national song. Muslims are NOT less patriots than others and to show their patiotism they need not be forced to sing it. This is one kind of a provocation that some of the Hindu zelots raise from time to time.
    know By: Indian | 09-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward Its just not national song.It shares same status with national anthem.first know history & then talk
    Provocation that some of the Hindu zelots raiseBy: N.V.SANKARAN | 08-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward Mr. Ravi, your comments show how Indian secularism works. A Muslim seminary issues a fatwa(order) to the Muslim community not to sing the national song and secularists like you blame "Hindu zealots" for that!!!! First of all, understand that the national song is not a prayer to any Hindu goddess. Even the reference to Durga and Lakshmi in the song only symbolizes strength and power(Durga) and prosperity(Lakshmi. If the Muslims are so much against worshiping inanimate objects, why do they circle round the Ka'aba in Mecca when they perform their Huj. In fact they are doing a similar ritual like the Hindus who circle round the sanctum sanctorum of a temple as part of their prayer. The Muslim men do not cover their upper bodies while performing the Huj prayers just like Hindus do in Kerala temples. So, why is this objection to sing the national song, which has nothing to do with Hindu religion? The name India was given by the British for the undivided sub-continent and at the time of independence it was divided into Pakistan and Hindusthan. Those Muslims who stayed back in Hindusthan after partition had in principle accepted the concept of Bharat Mata and the national song which was made in the praise of the Bharatmata. Then, why this objection now?
    National AnthemBy: Y.S.Chandrashekhar | 07-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward The Indian home minister was a silent spectator when the Jamaith-e-Islam issued a fatwa againnt singing vande mataram for mslims as some parts in that go against the tenets of Islam. The tenets of Islam go against idol worship which the majority in India believe in because they see everything as a manifestation of the super conciousness. How is the majority supposed feel about this.
