Rahman Fatwa Row

"I can see there is huge dissatisfaction with liberal space shrinking at the moment and people are very much upset about it. We have a government which on one hand talks about very liberal things and on the other hand, does absolutely nothing to denounce those who are making retrograde remarks," said Shabana Azmi

"Rahman sir was supposed to perform at the concert, but couldn't because of the recent controversy. He has personally apologised to Bhushan Kumat (T-Series chief) and had also sent a letter to the team saying he didn't want the show to be disrupted because of him," source disclosed

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad today appealed to Oscar winning composer AR Rahman to re-convert to Hinduism, saying it was time for his "ghar-wapsi" after the controversy surrounding the film on Prophet Muhammad which invited a fatwa against him.

"The fatwa against Rahman is very unfortunate and what is more unfortunate is the language of revenge in it. He composed music for a film not on the basis of any religion. I will appeal to Rahman... he should return, he should do 'ghar-wapsi'. The Hindu society is waiting for its son," VHP joint general secretary Surendra Jain said
