NEW DELHI: Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu , while releasing a book on late VHP chief Ashok Singhal on Thursday, wondered why some had a problem in chanting 'Vande Mataram'. "If not your mother, who would you salute, Afzal Guru," Naidu asked. Agar maa ko salam nahi karenge to kya Afzal Guru ko salam karenge? (Vande Mataram means salute to mother. What is the problem with it, if you don't salute your mother, who would you salute, Afzal Guru)," the vice-president said.He said when someone says 'Bharat Mata ki jai' it is not only about some goddess in a photo.
