1 min read

Condemning the fatwa issued by leading Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday asked the organisation to refrain from issuing such ‘unwarranted’ fatwa.2

“I completely disagree with this fatwa. I have absolutely no feelings that why Muslims should not chant ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’. I think Darul Uloom Deoban is a very good organisation. They should refrain from issuing such fatwa. It is unwarranted. Islam does not restrict to these kinds of slogans. As per Islam, it is fully permitted that whenever you chant slogans for the pride of your nation. They should also prospect as to why Muslims should not praise their own nation,” reported media quoting BJP leader Zafar Islam.

Darul Uloom Deoband yesterday issued a fatwa against chanting of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’, saying that the slogan goes against the tenets of Islam.
