Does that sound secular to you.
No, @INDIC it certainly does not sound secular to any sane mind. But this very same man gave evidence before the Joint Select Committee formed by the parliament on Government of India bill, in 1919.
He was asked "That is to say, at the earliest possible moment you wish to do away in political life with any distinction between Mohammedans and Hindus ?" The reply was "Yes. Nothing will please me more than when that day comes."
My point is if there is one remark to tag him communal, there are hundred others to make him secular. This interview was carried out in 1919, and we know when communal politics started flourishing in India,right?
