khatam karne ka tha, na ke political power ko gain karne ka. aur unhi ki koshishon ke nateejay mein jo process shuru hua, uska culmination aaj freedom of expression hai. Maulana sahib, yeh baatein kya maine sahi samjhi? theek, bohat sahi, bilkul sahi hai, bilkul theek hai. Maulana, agla sawal Delhi se hai, Miss Naghma Siddiqui ka. unhon ne likha hai: "If ideal cannot be achieved, why has there been efforts throughout history to achieve it?"
