Several Muslim leaders called on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to find a new candidate for the largely ceremonial post of president, after accusing Pratibha Patil of insulting Islam. The controversy over Patil's remarks erupted even before she filed her nomination for the presidential election, due in July. The cut-off for nominations is June 30. Maulana Khalid Rashid, a member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, said it was God who had asked women to wear a veil and that this was enshrined in the Koran, the Muslim holy book. The board is the highest body of the Muslims in India on laws governing personal matters. "Any statement against the veil means an opinion against Allah and the Koran which no Muslim will tolerate," Rashid said. Addressing a conference in the northwestern city of Udaipur over the weekend, Patil said women started using veils in India to save themselves from Mughal invaders in the 16th century, a newspaper reported. She asked women to stop wearing veils. Maulana Hasanul Badr, a Muslim cleric, said it was the duty of Muslim women to cover their bodies. "Why do politicians interfere in our religious matters? It has become a fashion to pass judgment on Islam," he said. "The statement is a clear reflection of Patil's mind-set about Islam and Muslims. It is better that the United Progressive Alliance change its presidential candidate and opt for a more secular person for this post," he said. Maulana Mehmood Madani, general secretary of Ulema-i-Hind, a Muslim organisation, accused Patil of twisting history. "She must apologise and withdraw her observations," the newspaper quoted Madani as saying.
