Deoband, Maulana Arshad Madani, president of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, criticising the incessant Israeli bombing in Gaza, has said Palestinians are fighting for their freedom while the Israelis are aggressors.

According to Kashmir Media Service, addressing a party meeting in Deoband, India, Maulana Madani said the war in Gaza cannot be won in one go, but we have to make sacrifices for it, he said.

He said sectarianism has taken an amazing global form. It can be seen in the ongoing war on Gaza when Jews and all Christian countries are not only united against the people of Palestine, but they are openly supporting Israel. Some people want to make it a world war, but if the land of Arabia is made a battlefield, then none of the Muslims will be safe,” he said.

Maulana Madani said anti-Islam forces seeking to destroy the world want to narrow the land on Muslims and want this war to be converted into a world war.

Turning his attention to communalism, he said people with a communal mindset were “enemies of the India”, and added that India will survive only through brotherhood and love.

“In today’s situation, people with a communal mindset are enemies to India. If the country has to survive, it will survive only with brotherhood. Otherwise, this country will be ruined sooner or later,” he said. KMS-19R
