maulana, agla sawal dilli se shahnawaz siddiqui sahab ne kiya hai. unhone likha hai: "califf is not a political term, but I think without political interference, many issues remain unresolved. what is your opinion on this?" dekhiye, meri puri zindagi ki tajurba yeh hai ke political interference sirf problem ko badhata hai, kisi problem ko hal nahi karta. jo yeh samajhta ho ke political interference masla khatam hogya, to mujhe is ki misal likh ke bheje. jitne waqiyat aap bataye ke political interference ke, woh sab badhane wale honge, boost boost dene wale honge.
