maulana, agla sawal dohra dun se javed alam sahib ne bheja hai. unhon ne likha hai: "maulana wahiduddin khan sahib kis firqe ko belong karte hain? agar un ka taaluq kisi firqe se nahi hai to musalmanon ko firqa parasti se toba ki taakeed kyun nahi karte?" yeh ajeeb o ghareeb hai. main manta hi nahi ke firqa parasti kahin hai. yeh to kuch logon ne islam ko badnaam karne ke liye shor macha rakha hai. cheunti ke barabar firqa bandi jo aap kehte hain, woh cheunti ke barabar ek masla hai.
