New Delhi, Sep 20 (PTI) A group of Muslim intellectuals, including former Chief Election Commissioner S Y Quraishi and former Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, recently met RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat and chalked out a plan to strengthen communal harmony in the country, sources said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Former Aligarh Muslim University Vice Chancellor Lt General (retd) Zamiruddin Shah, former MP Shahid Siddiqui, and philanthropist Saeed Shervani were also present in the closed-door meeting recently held at Udasin Ashram, the temporary office of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), sources said.<\/p>\n
Wide range discussions were held on strengthening communal harmony and improving intra-community relations during the two-hour-long meeting, sources said.<\/p>\n
Both Bhagwat and the group of intellectuals agreed that without strengthening communal harmony and reconciliation among communities, the country cannot progress, sources present in the meeting told PTI.<\/p>\n
“Both sides appreciated the need for communal harmony and to remove differences and misunderstandings among communities. A plan was chalked out to pursue this initiative,” sources said.<\/p>\n
The discussions also revolved around on following a Gandhian approach for the overall well-being of the country, they added.<\/p>\n
In September 2019, Bhagwat had met Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind head Maulana Syed Arshad Madani at the RSS office here and discussed a host of issues, including strengthening unity between Hindus and Muslims and incidents of mob lynching.<\/p>\n
The meeting was coordinated by Ram Lal, Sangh’s senior functionary and former organisational secretary of the BJP.<\/p>\n
