In his written statement,Azam said,“Tomorrow the CM is visiting Muzaffarnagar and I appeal to everyone for showing patience and presenting their woes without fear. There should not be any misunderstanding. The relations that have been soured are due to fascist forces. Ointment can be applied on wounds which are visible but we have to heal up the invisible wounds. Everyone should develop endurance in oneself and respect others’ culture,family,religion,as India is the country of everyone. We need to develop harmony else it is everyone’s loss.”
