Salman Nadwi said that if a few members of any organisaiton indulge in unlawful activities and there is an evidence on record to prove the same then action should be taken against them but this cannot be a ground to ban the entire organisation. He added that the same applies to Hindutva organisations such as RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal as well.
“It is not right to demand the ban the Jamaat-e-Islami, Tablighi Jamaat or the RSS, its branches, Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad just because some of their members are found indulging in cruelty or making unlawful remarks,” he said in a video interview uploaded on his Youtube channel.
Nadwi who was also part of the conference said that no such resolution was brought before him. He added that he attended the conference just to promote interfaith harmony. “I was not even aware that some resolution was to be passed,” he said.
