Lucknow, March 17 : Complaints and criticism are mounting by the day against former Shia Waqf Board chairman Waseem Rizvi who has sought removal of 26 verses from the Quran.
Prominent Islamic seminary, Darul Uloom, Deoband, slammed Rizvi s attempt to disturb peace in the country.
Abul Qasmi Nomani, vice-chancellor of Darul Uloom, Deoband, said, The Quran teaches us peace and forgiveness. Not a word has changed in it since this world came into being. And there is no scope for it too.

MUZAFFARNAGAR/MEERUT: Eight years ago, three deaths and a mahapanchayat had set off a chain of events that led to three weeks of riots in Muzaffarnagar. The communal divide it created ran deep.
In the villages of Muzaffarnagar, many Muslims and Jats are putting the bloody history behind them to come together for the farmers’ protest. “It is time to move on,” said Asad Zama, a lawyer who was witness to the riots. “Both communities shape the politics of western UP. Together, we can do a lot.”
