Why should indian muslims living in a democratic country follow fatwas or any such directives from religious leaders? It will be an unfotunate trend to mix religion with politics- all islamic so called democratic countries in the world (is there one at all??) are standing examples. The religiion is one's own faith and it has nothing to do with politics. After all we are all human beings with an independent thinking capacity and can not be led by the nose by pseudo brotherhood calls. Use your discretion and vote based on merit and not by caste/community- irrespective of your religious faith. Jai Hind
