Jamiat Slams Vande Mataram Order: 'Attack on Freedom of Religion'

• Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind calls Centre's Vande Mataram directive 'unilateral' and 'arbitrary'.
• Mandating all six stanzas of Vande Mataram is a 'blatant attack' on religious freedom, says Jamiat president Maulana Arshad Madani.
• Madani states some verses portray homeland as deity, contradicting monotheistic beliefs, violating Article 25.
• Jamiat alleges the decision reflects 'electoral politics' and a 'sectarian agenda', diverting attention from fundamental issues.
• Union Home Ministry directed all six stanzas of Vande Mataram to be sung first when played with Jan Gana Man at official functions.
