Patriotism despite bias: Clerics to inspire Muslim youth

The Urs-e-Razvi of Dargah Aala Hazrat this year will see clerics hold a special session, “Vatan Se Mohabbat” (patriotism) for Muslim youth. Clerics said there is disaffection among Muslim youth because they are unfairly and irrationally tagged “terrorists” and “outsiders”. The government too shows them apathy. Recent incidents like the lynching of the 52-year-old blacksmith in Dadri, Greater Noida, too have caused fear and insecurity. Clerics say they will urge youth, despite the bias and the hostile statements from some members of the ruling party at the Centre, to tread the path of valour and patriotism.
