'Taliban is not a terrorist, if it is then Gandhi, Nehru, Sheikhuddin were also terrorists'- Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind Chief
- Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind chief Arshad Madani does not consider the Taliban a terrorist in the midst of the Afghanistan crisis.
- He has said that those who fight for freedom are not terrorists. If fighting for it is terror, then Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Sheikhuddin were also terrorists.
- He said these things in an interview given to the Hindi newspaper 'Dainik Bhaskar'. He is also the principal of Darul Uloom in Deoband, Saharanpur, UP.
- Let us tell you, both Taliban and Darul Uloom follow the Deoband ideology. Arshad Madani has said that the Taliban do not believe in slavery, while Darul Uloom was formed to oppose slavery.
- "The rest of us have nothing to do with them. By the way, it cannot prove that any person from Darul Uloom is in contact with the people of Taliban", he added.
