Mumbai, Nov. 3 -- Maharashtra's Minister for Skill Development Mangal Prabhat Lodha today announced that group singing of 'Vande Mataram' will be done outside the homes of Congress MLAs Aslam Shaikh and Amin Patel and Samajwadi Party legislator Abu Azmi for allegedly opposing or disrespecting the national song in the past.
The minister recalled that Congress MLAs Amin Patel and Aslam Shaikh had written to the President of India seeking clemency for Yakub Memon, one of the convicts in the Mumbai bomb blasts case, while Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi had recently opposed the singing of 'Vande Mataram', a song that pays homage to the motherland.
