In a statement issued in Mumbai, Thackeray said that the fatwa was issued in the presence of Union Home Minister P Chidambaram which shows that the Centre has indulged into minority appeasement.
"If anti-national fatwas are issued in the presence of the Union Home Minister then there is no future for this country. It looks like the Centre has a policy of Muslim appeasement for votes," The Sena leader alleged.
He said Vande Mataram is not just two words but a flame to invoke nationalism. "If you don't want to salute the motherland, then whom do you salute? What is the shame in saluting Bharatmata? Those who don't want to salute Bharatmata should go to Pakistan, Bangladesh. There is no place for such traitors in India," Thackeray said.
He asked his party members to put up 'Vande Mataram' boards all over Maharashtra. Such fatwas create tensions between Hindus and Muslims, he added.

A sikh killed indra gandi.. I hindu killed rajiv gandhi.. many hindu killed each other in Sri lanka.. Hitler siad God told him to be Anti sematic.. Bush said jesus came to his dream and order him to attack iraq... Few people misinterupt the religion or good teaching... IS it fair to blame religion or good teaching????
1. To vikram, looks like U R still a kid, if not a fool, as every one knows things have happened in America. A Muslim will not mind telling anything like god bless America (he must have gone there to earn and if god blesses America only then even he can be happy in that particular country. But no Muslim will like to bow in front of any else than Allah. People Allah has made us from mud, Accept the truth, when it comes to praising something " Praise the creator and not the creature". Allah made land for us food ect for our survival and when U started getting resources from it instead of thanking Allah U started thanking the land %u201CWhat foolishness%u201D. When will U come out of this blindness and deafness listening to a bunch of mischief makers. Respect Humanity %u201C live and let live%u201D
Its strange that you tell repsect the creator & not creature.Creatures are created by creator.Disrespect to creature is euqal to disrespect to creator himself.we hindus dont even hurt a a stone & such is our making which is beyond your understanding
The "foreign jihadis" fighting in Iraq claim tobe inspired by Deobandi teachings. Pakistani militant groups such as Jaish-e-Muhammad and Harkat-e-Islam, accused of kidnapping and suicide bombings,follow the Deobandi school of thought. The Taliban, from both Afghanistan andPakistan, were educated in Deobandi seminaries. When aspiring terrorists go toPakistan to study "Islam", they go to Deobandi establishments. Here in india, Youth from two tanzeems ,deobandi tablighee Jamat and Alhe Hadis are involved in indeginised Jihad and barelvi muslims. In Kashmir, deobandi running 540 madarssas involved in Jihad in Kashmir, Ideology of Taliban is rooted in deoband since 1866, Darul Uloom deoband. Al Badr, Muslim Defence Force, Let, TeI,etc.follows same ideology.Can u proove allha has punished someone when he said Vande mataram?? I would like to meet allah I would like to ask, why this is so, can u arrange this meet, every thing you are doing is hypothetical just imaginary.
Why muslim not sing vande matram, because ye dharti ishwar ki rachna he, vande martram ka matlab hota he Dharti ki vandna, Dharti ki pooja, Dharti ki ibadat. hamara ishwar sabse bada he aur hum uske saman kissi aur ko samman nahi de sakte waran ye uska apmaan he. agar hum ishwar ko ishwar kahte he to kissi aur ko ishwar nahi kahan ja sakta yaha tak ki kissi ka naam ishwar rakhna bhi uska bahut bada apman. wo ek he, uske jesa koi nahi,aur jo uska apman karega uska kya haal hoga ye ussi ko samajh lena chahiye.kyoko hume usi ne bheja he aur phir ussi ke pass loat kar jana he.
worshipping is different from respecting.We need to respect & protect our motherland.plz do learn from lankan muslims
The same muslims in US will sing "God bless America" and they don't feel anything Christian or non-islamic about it.. The truth is that they can only wag the tails in India and not anywhere else - It is because of all this minority appeasement..

im not indian, im a pakistani so its none of my business as to whether you should sing vande mahataram or not but, the hindus in this discussion seem to say phrases like this repeatedly to muslims: "pakistan is best place for you" "leave this country, go to pakistan" and also trying to point out the partition in other words reminding them that they got the partition so what else do you ask for, so that is really sad, im trying to think from abdullah's persective (though i dont agree with everything he has said but i understand where he is coming from) but it must be a nightmare esy logon ke saath rehna jo har waqt taany dety hein pakistan ke. quite unbelievable!
till now 57 comments do u people thing that Mr.Shiv Sena Executive President Uddhav Thackeray is looking or watching this? Then why we should fight and be in tension in between each other please STOP! For the sake of India, this political people they knows well how to divide and role on us if we will not response our India will be good and first in world
Abdullah, You are right about the cleanliness. Come to Bandra station and see for yourself how religiously the ex -butherHouse colony resident beggars live. Nobod can be forced even to be devoted to the motherland if their mothers to start with were tyranic to their handsome genile fathers. The actual question is who decides for whom?.
It is none of Sena's business to dictate what they like,or suppose to do by others, India is a democratic countrywhich Sena it self is a product. So behave like a democratic citizen. India or Maharashtra is not belong toan individual entity, it belongs to those who are livingin it. More over who has given them the ligitimacy topronounse that all North Or South Indians to vacate Maharashtra or Muslims should go to Pakistan/Bangladesh ?As a matter of fact Majority of Hindus or Muslims was notin favour of Partition, it just happens due to personal egoof Jinnah
You are right. Sena cannot dictate. But can Deobandis dictate what others to do in a democratic country? As some Muslims themselves have said it is not against Islam to repect motherland why you did not advise the fundamentalists?
I agree with you that Sena should not dictate. But why you did not say the same thing to Deohbandis that they also should not dictate in a democratic country? Be impartial when ;you have noble thought otherwise it looses its meaning.
Udhav thakreyshould ask all shiv sainiks and first sing the song himself before media he and his hsiv sainiks who do not know song should leave the country immediately.
if they sing will you leave this country and go to pakistan, dont oppose for the sake of opposing.
our congress govt at centre is in a state of hybernation.when shall they wake up why are not those islamic zealots been put behind bars.how many partitions they want i pity me and my countrymen to elect such people to head our country.
HI and hello to all readersI like to answer for the below pasted question asked by Sena leader alleged.The QUE is:- "If you don't want to salute the motherland, then whom do you salute? What is the shame in saluting Bharatmata?Ans: - i respected, I love and I ready to die for my land and I believe that not only me but all Indian it may in different caste they are ready,But we can’t do urine and shit in that place where we are (SALUTING= bow-down) as we are bow down in front of one GOD,I don’t want to explain more but please try to understand that we can’t cheat our self like you, that where you are saluting bow-down that same place you’re doing stool (shiting) and urine I hope u got my answerThanks
Abdulla, i think you are a pathologist specializing in urine
It seems you have been taught, either by your parent or by your religion to think about land in terms of shit, urine and filth. The anthem declares land as Sujalam, Sufala, Sashya Shyamalam.
By the kind of logic you have Pakistan is the best place.
Dear if you go in logic then why you not Appreciate poet ALLAMa Iqbal who rote sare jahan se accha hindostan hamara AN advice don’t divided and look Thanks
Why only Maharashtra Sir, its a National issue for that we have to fight together, i still not understand why these types of issue open only in Maharashtra. is they are most forward or it a origin of those really dirty political mind for the sake of vote for the sake of publicity but, in any case it is really very danger for our society the still we are thinking like this. ............ same full politics sir,
if you dont wana sing . then better dont say anything worng .
I am not surprised with all those news ... Its nothing to do with Hindu or Muslim.. Its all Congress .. It were not britishers .. It is them (Congress) who divide and rule ...Since Jawahar Lal's time they are fooling us .. when country was divided on basis of religion .. they allowed mixed so that either of us remail unstable ... When china planned to attack India .. our CHACHA was sleeping .. You know why???Just to get Nobel Peace prize (What Obama Received) ...He did not even trusted Indian Dhobi's and sent his clothes to England to get washed (Its well known truth and obviously you wont find hard proofs ...)Its all a bitter seed sown between Nehru and Jinnah that is still prevailing ..Frinds (hindu or muslims) hope we dont get carried away by such politics.. but one thing for sure .. when we move to countries like US and UK .. we celebrate diwali and Ed together .. why hating each other here?
Those who are opposing the song Vande Matram should be invited for a scrumptous dinner to 'Matushree' and should be the honored guests of Thackreys as the nature of job of both are the same - 'divide the nation under any false pretext.'
HANG ALL THOSE WHO RAISED ANTI INDIA SLOGANS. THOSE WHO RAISED FATWA AGAINST VANDE MATARAM SHOULD BE HANGED PUBLICLY SO THAT NO BODY WILL DARE TO TALK LIKE THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE . REMOVE OUR BLEADY UNION HOME MINISTER FROM THAT POST ASK HIM TO GO BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL POST. HE IS NOT A SUITABLE PERSON FOR HOME MINISTER.KEEP ONE DARING
I am sure that the filthy desh drohi Raj Thakare would soon be declaring such a 'fatwa'because vande mataram is not a marathi song.
And for singing the same Vande Mataram, numerous people suffered lathi charge, police torture
The above statement is good to say, but is it workable? If we are true Hindus and Hindustanis means, protest against fatwa and dear sri.Uddhav Thackeray if u are really love love mother India, GOD BLESS U and proceed. All our blessings are with u.
Dear Indians,If the opposition demands to pass the National Security bill any one who abuses Indian culture or Gods by any means take action against them. Congress is 100% corruption government. P.Chidambaram is a LTTE supporter how we can expect any good things from this type of man.
first of all VANDE MATARAM is our nationalsong,used to enthusiasm indian freedom fighters,it has nothing to do with religion...wen u all madarssa learning men will come out of yours hell world and progress parallel along with others,u all narrow minded sick radiacal people will never see other aspect like global warming,terrorism,poverty,illetracy,unempoloyment etc...only religion,religion
Of all, the Shiv Sena is least qualified to talk about patriotism to the Motherland. When the Shiv Sainiks are intolerant of the South and North Indians, what is the unity of the Country they are talking about. The Shiv Sena did all this hate campaign to create a constituency for them and to become electorally relevant. The BJP which is the most dishonest Party in this Country has no qualms in aligning with a anti-National party like the Shiv Sena just to fetch votes. And, wait these are the people who talk about vote bank politics in the Country.
It is all right for the Thackerays to show their patriotism on this issue to the Motherland. But, they need to take a look back at their party's history which was borne out of hatred and facism against South and North Indians by invoking the son of soil theory. During the late 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s, the Shiv Sainiks were a big scare in Maharasthara who were hell bent on disturbing the peace and harmony of the State by invoking irrelevant issues of Marathi Manoos and anti-South and North Indian tirade. Everyone knows as to how the Non-marathas suffered at the hand of Shiv Sena hoodlums. This call of Maharasthara for Marathis was against the spirit of Indian Constitution which gives equal opportunity for all Citiziens to secure a living anywhere in the Country. Now Raj Thackeray has taken over the cudgels on behalf of the Marathis. But what amuses is when linguistic parties like the Shiv Sena talk about Hindutva which makes the ideology even more of a mockery.
Such anti-national mullahs dishing out anti-national fatwas should never be given a place in the nation. Who are these anti-nationals trying to hoodwink in the name of religious restrictions? Does the govt have the guts to try such anti-national mullahs for treason? Not until every Indian rises up against such anti-nationals who collude with such mullahs. Thackery is wrong in asking them to go to pak or bangla. We must just try them for treason and award death penalty or life imprisonment to such national traitors. If they go to pak or bangladesh, they will return as terrorists to destroy Bharat Mata.
They should be pushed into Pakistan or any Islamic country after cancelling their citizenship.
