New Delhi: Days after the visit of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat to a mosque in Delhi and his subsequent meeting with All India Imam Organization chief Umer Ahmed Ilyasi, the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind on Saturday organized a 'Sadbhavna' meet and called for communal harmony.
Speaking to ETV Bharat, the organization's head Maulana Javed Qasmi, emphasized the nature of the meeting. "This is not a political meet. This meet has been organized to call for unity among different religions and cultures. There are some people trying to raise a communal angle, fuelling hatred but the country knows that we all are one," Qasmi said.
The former also deemed Bhagwat's outreach to be a positive marker. "It's good that people like Bhagwat are meeting Muslim intellectuals and Imams. This will send a good message. RSS supremo is a big man and his words would have a greater positive impact," he added. The meet consisted of Hindu religious leaders from Uttar Pradesh, Nainital, and elsewhere.
