[Reader-list] Fatwa issued against 'Vande Mataram'

[Javed]

Dear Malik
Why do you have a problem with my additional comments in the bracket.
One extremism begets another extremism. That's why I am as much
against the saffronwadis forcing Vande Matram on us as I am on the
maulviwadis stopping us from it.
