New Delhi: "We will move forward only if we will remain united. We belong to the whole India," said noted Bollywood director Muzaffar Ali on Monday while releasing a book on 13th century Persian scholar and great Sufi poet Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi in Hindi here.
Condemning the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's stand against North Indians and actor Amitabh Bachchan, Ali said India can only progress if the people of the country remain united.
"What happened in Mumbai is regrettable," he said.
Reminding of the teachings of Persian poet, Ali said Rumi was a poet who taught humans to love each other and live in a manner which brings them closer to God.
The book, written by Trinath Mishra, contains information about Rumi's lifestyle and teachings.
