Mulayam should realize for every Muslim vote lost, he could gain more than one Hindu vote!
If Muslims are portrayed as being against a foreign policy decision in the name of religion then it will be a divisive politics. If Muslims want to oppose let them not bring religion into it or fall into trap of those who want to paint national policies with colour of religion.

Let us not forget there are many Indians who oppose this pact. But not on religion ground.
