His answer, in his own words

aur yeh ghair ilmi istadlal hai." Maulana, in ka doosra sawal yeh hai, unhon ne likha hai: "What is the difference between secular democracy and shura?" yeh to main ne arz kar diya aap ne baat cheet mein ke secular democracy jo hai, basically woh woh koi aqeedah nahi hai.
1:19:43
is ko lamzahabi jamhooriyat kehna sahi nahi hai. secular democracy sirf ek dhanchay ka naam hai. dhancha. yani logon se election ke zariye se logon ki rai lena aur un ki rai ke mutabiq hukoomat banana. is ka na koi aqeeday se talluq hai na is ka mazhab se talluq hai.
1:20:04
to mein apne dhanchay ke aitbar se mein ne dekha, is mein koi burai nahi hai. masla jo hai, yeh hai ke maujooda jo concept hai democracy ka, is mein accountability koi concept nahi hai. yani kisi apne se bartar kisi ke aagay mein accountable houn. is liye yahan par amalan kya hota hai ke democracy anarchy ban jati hai. anarchy.
1:20:28
to anarchy ko ke tor ke liye, is ko is ko is par control qā'im karne ke liye zarūrī hai ki vahāñ ek accountability concept maujūd ho. aur vo sirf mazhab se ātā hai. yānī jis kā ek authentic version islām hai. ok, we will end this session now. thank you.
