Days after a Muslim body asked the community not to recite Vande Mataram, vice president Hamid Ansari's wife today wondered why the national song had become "a subject of discussion".

"If someone recites Vande Mataram why do others make that a subject of discussion? We have also been reciting poet Iqbal's Saare Jahan Se Aacha in the same spirit," Salma Ansari said here.

Speaking at a school function, Ansari asked the Muslim leaders to work with a missionary zeal to bring about its development of the community. Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind had on Tuesday asked members of the community not to recite 'Vande Mataram' on the ground that some verses of the national song were against the tenets of Islam.
