Responding to the Delhi Police's remarks on the greeting 'as-salamu alaykum', United Against Hate member Khaild Saifi wryly said that he would have to stop using the salutation if it's illegal.
His remarks came days after the police argued that the usage of terms like 'as-salamu alaykum' in a speech by JNU student Sharjeel Imam, who is also an accused in the Delhi Riots conspiracy case, indicate that his speech was addressed to a particular community.
