True. But, not because it followed Gandhian path, or Nehruvian ideals.
Deoband, the jehad producing factory, opposed partition BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO MUSLIMS IN INDIA TO BECOME EVEN MORE MINORITY AFTER CREATION OF PAKISTAN!
Their Goal of Islamization has got severest setback- any radicalism of muslims will be crushed by 85% non-Muslims, if not already.

That means Deoband where against Seperate State of Pakistan hence they are true Nationalist. They Doesn't Preach Jihadi Islam which is taught in Pak and Afghan Madarssas.
