New Delhi: Setting a car afire or attacking a building with firearms cannot be justifiable way of protest against insult to Islam or Prophet Muhammad. Youths under the banner of Khudai Khidmatgar here on Friday came up with a noble idea of protest against the infamous blasphemous movie on Prophet Muhammad. Less than a dozen youths this evening gathered outside the American Center in the heart of Delhi and distributed a book on the life of the Prophet among the passers-by and employees of the center outside.

“Within half an hour, we distributed 125 copies of the book Islam ke Paighambar Hazrat Muhammad (a book in Hindi written by Prof. KS Rao). As it was office closure time, so educated people, men and women coming out of offices in the neighborhood happily accepted the book,” Faisal Khan of Khudai Khidmatgar told TCN.
He informed that police tried to prevent them from distributing the book, they even snatched their camera and deleted all photos.
“We knew they would not allow us to gather outside the American Center. So we all eight were individually on either side of the road and exactly at 6 pm we gathered in front of the main gate. The policemen stopped us. We argued we are distributing books, we are not breaking any law. We told them that people from Hare Rama Hare Krishna mission park their van at Palika Bazar and whole day they distribute literature on Hindu religion, why don’t you stop them. As one member of our team was clicking photos of us distributing the book, the police snatched the camera and deleted photos. Anyhow, some other member managed to click some photos,” said Khan, a noted civil and human rights activist.
