Disclaimer: I am NOT making a political statement.
Can somebody tell me what exactly is meant by “secular” . Secular simply should mean that everybody recognize that the others’ GOD is as good as his/her’s and behave accordingly.
Else, in a democracy the word just does not fit into any other scheme except to be misused. Peace among society will automatically come if we stop using this word secular in any other context. Justice is not served by simply using the word secular.
This article perhaps ignores the Hindu consolidation that would happens if Mr. Owaisi shows up for an election rally. Mr. Owaisi personally seems more persistent and indignant, but can’t escape the acerbic tactics of his siblings.

The AIMIM is a rabidly communal political party. Its activities betray its claims to uphold secularism. For it, secularism is synonymous with the implementation of Sharia.
The secular parties must come together to defeat this obnoxious ideology.
