He said, &#8220;We do not hold any grudges about North Indians or Muslims&#8221;. He added, &#8220;Everyone who respects this land as their motherland, is our brother&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>At the 32:11-minute mark in the video, he starts talking about Aurangzeb. He says, &#8220;Around 3 to 4 years ago, you might or might not have read or heard about this: We had a soldier serving in Kashmir. He took leave from duty to go back to his family. When the terrorists got to know that he was leaving for home alone and unarmed, they abducted him en route, tortured him by cutting up different parts of his. His dead body was found somewhere days after. Was he ours or not? He sacrificed his life for the nation. Now if I say that he was my brother, then you might ask me about his name. His name was Aurangzeb and he was a Muslim by faith, but he gave his life for this land of Mother India. Was he, then not our brother?
