Thane, Aug 1: Union minister Ramdas Athawale has said there was nothing wrong if one didn't recite the national song 'Vande Mataram.'

Athawale, the leader of Republican Party of India (A), said the issue of the national song was being brought out deliberately to cause feud among communities.

"Everybody should recite Vande Mataram, but if it is not recited what will go wrong?" he asked, while addressing the Maharashtra Gramin Patrakar Sangh's 11th anniversary at Kalyan near here yesterday.

"If one does not recite Vande Mataram nothing is wrong in that," said the minister of state for social justice and empowerment.

The Madras high court recently made singing 'Vande Mataram' compulsory in all government schools, colleges and universities in Tamil Nadu at least once a week.

A BJP MLA in Maharashtra recently demanded the implementation of the ruling in schools and colleges of the state, sparking a political slugfest with legislators of some other parties opposing any such move.

Rightly said.

Partriotism is not by force, not by singing any song, or not by showing anything.

It is the love for the people of the nation.

If this is missing, he or she is not nationalist.

 

Singing the vande mataram, it is a debatable subject. If one has no objection of its contents, no problem to sing.

But still it is up to him to sing or not to sing. Not by force.

If anybody of the opinion to sing it, then will they read holy books all other religions and will they follow it.

 

No, not possible to do it. Therefore dont force to sing.

The truth is,  ISLAM is purely based believing in 1 and only Go.

That is  ONE-NESS OF GOD. Anything contradicts the 1ness is unforgivable sin.

There is no other sin above it. This is the strong principle of ISLAM. Muslims are ready for any sacrifices to follow it.

Unfortunately Most of the people even Many Muslims dont know it.

It is better to know the principle of every religion. It does not mean to follow it.

But knowing the fact can help to clear many doubts.

 

May God help.
