I salute this religious guru for his impartial views. Even I did not know that there could be more than one meaning of the word vande ! let us hope that this issue is sorted out to everybody's satisfaction. Bijay Bhujabal from Dehradun
I am congratulating Shi-a leader Mr. Sadiq for taking a brave stand in this issue.
Shia-Muslims should come forward to oppose the anti-National actiivties of some sunni sects like Deobands, Wahabis, Jehadis, Samajwadis, Marxists, etc.
Our country is suffering from an excess of politics everywhere - realpolitik, administration, education, economy, healthcare, sports .. why, you name the domain and the evil shows its ugly head everywhere. Those in power who have originated this ugly debate and those are mindlessly debating should first ask themselves - are they acting in a manner which brings credit to the mother land? We have scams after scams, crimes after crimes, accidents after accidents but what is done to book the culprits and reduce the occurrence of scams, crimes and accidents?
Which religion tells its followers to kill, cheat, lie, bribe, defile, have arrogance?
Let the politicians eschew all politics and concern themselves with improving the infrastructure, making administration responsive and accountable, act rather than speak when there are trajedies and calamities, trace and punish every criminal, clear the mess in every conceivable field.
People should work, work and work and refrain from debates.
