"An open statement made by national leaders of Indian National Congress when the Khilafat movement was in full swing also attracts our attention. “Truth is more important than the amity between Hindus and Muslim s in our Swaraj. Hence to Moulavi sahib with his followers and Mahatma Gandhi we speak. The atrocities committed by Muslim s on Hindus are simply true. For a true follower of nonviolence and noncooperation the actions of Moplah insurgents cannot be approved of. What for they are to be congratulated? For looting the Hindu houses? Or converting forcibly Hindus to Islam? For massacring innocent Hindu men, women and children? For raping Hindu women? For desecrating Hindu temples and destroying them? Was it that those who committed these atrocities were sacrificing their lives for their religion?”"
