Here Maulana Arshad Madani also expressed his good feelings about this meeting. Arshad Madani said that Hindus and Muslims live together in peace and love across the country but political parties create a dispute among them.
“The blood of all human beings in the whole world is the same, the community is the same, the language and the faces are also the same, but the political leaders have created discrimination among them.” Maulana Madani further said, “No matter which religion a person belongs to, he should not promote this kind of prejudice.” Prosperity will prevail. Apart from this, Maulana Arshad Madani also gave his reactions on many burning issues arising. He categorically rejected forced conversion.

He said that when the country got it’s independence, the secular system was implemented. In such a situation, every person has the freedom to follow the religion of his choice. They have the right that they cannot be restricted to any one religion.
