Lucknow:
Endorsing India's stand on Kashmir, the influential Darul Uloom
Deoband Islamic seminary Sunday declared the state was an integral
part of the country.
"India is like a bouquet of different types of flowers. We just
cannot think of allowing any one of the flowers to be separated,"
renowned Islamic scholar Abdul Rahim Bastawi said at a large
assembly of Islamic clerics and scholars at the seminary in Uttar
Pradesh's Saharanpur district, about 400 km from Lucknow.
Sponsored by clerics' group Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, the assembly was
convened essentially to discuss Kashmir and the problems facing
the state.
Apart from clerics drawn from
different parts of Uttar Pradesh, the participants at the meet
included those from Uttarakhand, Bihar, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh.
Jamiat leader Mahmood Madani said that the Kashmir issue could not
be addressed without taking Indian Muslims on board.
A resolution passed at the meet said that "the long pending
demands of Kashmiri people need to be addressed within the
framework of the constitution of India".
Addressing the meet, senior journalist M.J. Akbar said: "If it is
about getting a fair deal and justice to Kashmiris, we are 100
percent with Kashmir. If it is about separation, we are 1,000
percent against it."
