I think any Indian should be proud to recite the Vande Mataram, to honour and respect the hundreds and thousands of people that gave their life for this country.
The Imam and Mulaylam should be greatful and privileged that they live in the largest democracy and are able to express their opinions freely. Which was achieved by martyrs whose only mantra was the "Vande Mataram".
What is shocking that neither have any better things to do to improve communal harmony of this country. And shouldn't the Imam be sticking to religion and not politics?
