Jaipur: Terming lack of
education as a stumbling block to the development of Muslims,
eminent personalities from different walks of life today called
upon parents to emphasise on the schooling of their children to
keep pace with the fast changing world.
"The challenge before the community is lack of education, which is
important to survive in the time of globalisation. Everybody
should take resolution to get their children educated. Do not
compromise with the career of children," a Muslim scholar Sarwar
Chistry said during a national seminar on 'Challenges Before
Minority'.
Speaking at the seminar, noted filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt appealed to
Muslims to "dream big" and work for making them true to raise their
position in the society.
Speakers also called for Hindu-Muslim unity for India's
development. "India is the best country for Muslims and Hindus are
the best neighbours. We should not be divided at any point and any
time," BJP MP Shahnawaz Hussain said.
