specific baat ho to mein bata sakta hoon. as a principle mein yeh kahunga ke yeh muslim ka sawal kyun banate hain? aap jis mulk mein hain, aap us ka father hain, aap yeh muslim kya? yeh muslim ka question nahi hai, yeh yeh hai question patriotism ka.

muslim ka question to hai ke aap namaz padhiye masjid mein ja kar ke. baqi yeh question jo hai, is ka koi ta'alluq aqeeday se nahi hai. jis mulk mein hain, aap ko is ka yaani hubb-e-watan ka taqaza hai ke aap is ka father hon.
