As Deoband is set to vote on February 14 in the second phase of Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, locals in the constituency seek communal harmony and better job opportunities for youth.
The bustle in a corner of the fields on the outskirts of Deoband, along the state highway 69, belies the Sunday sleepiness of the city. Inside it, young men and enthusiasts have congregated to listen to firebrand All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi.
