Talking to news hounds at the Jamia Ashrafia here on Tuesday, he said seminaries imparted a lesson of peace, tolerance, love, affection and the religion.
He said turbans were anti-state and bereft of any religion and terrorism should be rooted out of the country.
He accused the secular forces of hatching conspiracies ‘for dollars’ and said only an Islamic system would make the country a better place to live.
