All of us irrespective of where we come from and what we believe in, we must start praying and I pray we do not lose this country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have tried to look for experience, it has failed us, we looked for pedigree, it has failed us, this is the reason why I said that we still need to pray to God to choose for us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no way politicians will not fail because they have one thing in common, they are selfish, and they are fighting for their own pocket. We should pray to God to choose for us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEld-Kabir is essentially to showcase total submission to the God of creation.
