New Delhi, 13 Nov 2019 [Fik/News Sources]: A day after Muslim leaders met National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval in Delhi  , several  Shia and Sunni leaders met with  Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath  in Lucknow .

Prominent Islamic scholar Syed  Salman Hussaini  Nadwi, along with nearly 15 others Muslim clerics   had discussion  with Yogi  for nearly an hour and thanked them for their cooperation in securing peace before and after the Ayodhya verdict.

“Muslims are about 17 per cent of the state’s population but statistics show that they have been given above 30 per cent benefits in all major government schemes,” Yogi reportedly  said to them.

‘We should build a grand mosque , a university and  an  Islamic center at 5 acre proposed land. We should think and act positively as negative thinking will take us nowhere’ said Maulana Salman Husaini  Nadvi after in a video message after meeting with CM Yogi.

Interestingly Maulana Salman was accompanied by his  two sons Yusuf Husaini, Yunus Husaini and one son in law Hasan Mazahri.
