Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind president Maulana Mahmood Madani in a statement on June 4 alleged that the due-for-release Ajmer 92 would create a “divide and rift” in the society and asked the government to ban it and “discourage those who are trying to divide society on communal lines”.
Madani described Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Ajmeri as an example of Hindu-Muslim unity and a “true Sultan” who ruled over the hearts of millions of people. He said, “He is popularly known as a messenger of peace and harmony in the country.” The JUH president cautioned that in the present times, different ways and means were being explored to divide society on religious lines. “Movies and social media are being used to link criminal activities with a particular religion which will harm our shared heritage,” he alleged.
