He asked youth not to be get misled by the IS propaganda about ‘jihad’ but undertake ‘jihad’ within India’s democratic framework instead of taking up arms. He advised youth to undertake ‘jihad’ in a peaceful and democratic manner for glory of the faith and told them that their biggest weapon is their vote. Owaisi said if the youth want to do ‘jihad’, the best method is they use their abilities and energy for betterment of the community and the development of the country. “I appeal to the youth, live for Islam, don’t die for Islam. Islam teaches you to live, not to die. Live and make this country great. This country belongs to us. This country needs you. Today, if there’s someone who is taking on Modi, it’s only the Indian Muslim.” Owaisi told Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP and the security agencies that if they malign India’s 17 crore Muslims, they only be helping IS. “IS wants Muslims to be victims of suspicion. They don’t want any grey zone to exist in the world. They want to polarise the world into black and white,” he said.
