New Delhi Defending the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind resolution on singing of Vande Mataram, Samajwadi Party said on Wednesday that BJP should not politicise the issue as Muslims had "religious compulsions" against reciting the national song.

"We should find a middle path. Muslims are not against Vande Mataram but have religious compulsions against singing it," SP General Secretary Amar Singh told reporters in New Delhi.

He said political parties including the BJP should not politicise the issue which would widen the gap between the two communities.

To a question on the presence of Home Minister P Chidambaram at the programme where the resolution was passed, Singh said the Union Minister cannot be blamed for attending it.

Asked about Bollywood stars campaigning for Congress candidate Raj Babbar in Firozabad for the November 7 Lok Sabha by-poll, he said the former SP MP should not have contested against his party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav's daughter-in-law Dimple.

"He went to Rajya Sabha once and Lok Sabha twice on SP ticket. He should not have contested against Yadav daughter-in-law," Singh said.

The by-poll has been necessitated after Mulayam's son Akhilesh vacated the seat and retained Kannauj Lok Sabha seat.
