00:00There's a Muslim cleric who's in the eye of a storm for targeting the government and an influential Muslim cleric
00:07who sparked off a controversy claiming Islam is being targeted by the government.
00:13The cleric says demolished mosques will be restored. This is Mawlana Madani. Mawlana Madani says those in power today will
00:25not be in power tomorrow and the mosques that are taken down are being restored or will be restored.
00:33Mawlana Madani has said Azzan will once again resonate from the minarets of the raised mosques or words to that
00:42effect. Mosques demolished will once again resound with the Azzan says Mawlana Arshad Madani.
00:50Demolished mosques will be restored. Those in power today will not remain in power tomorrow.
00:56And this is a direct attack, we are being told, taking on the government.
01:03He then goes on to say, and I quote here directly, the mosques being demolished today will once again echo
01:11with the call of Allahu Akbar.
01:14That's the statement made by Mawlana Arshad Madani. Those who are in power today will not remain in power tomorrow.
01:22No force in the world has been able, he then goes on with his statements, previous governments used to target
01:30Muslims, he says, but the current government is targeting not only Muslims, but he claims, this is a claim, that
01:38his religion is being targeted.
01:40The Jamaat-e-Ulimai Hind President Mawlana Arshad Madani on Tuesday said mosques that are currently being demolished in the
01:48country would resound with the Azzan.
01:52He was addressing a conference of raptai in Madras Islamiyah at the Darul Uloom Deoband campus in Saharanpur,
02:00when he says he is very concerned by rising communalism and targeting of mosques, madrasas and other religious institutions.
02:11He then goes on to allege that Muslims, their culture, their identity, their institutions are being targeted.
02:21Those who are demolishing mosques today are dreaming of erasing, he claims, their identity and should know that they will
02:30not remain in power.
02:32Governments will come and go.
