Indian Muslims form a forum to fight against bashing campaign

Why this Muslims bodies not speak single word about the recent bomb blast that took many innocent lives ? Why they event not talk about the SIMI and Indian Mujahidin Muslims youths who were involved in these bomb blast ? It is clear that they will certainly back the terrorist who involved in this cruel conspiracy. Government and Hindus should take note of their activities!

New Delhi: In a landmark development, heads and representatives of various Muslim organizations and prominent personalities formed an umbrella body– Coordination Committee For Indian Muslims' to counter the attack on the Muslim community in the garb of terrorist attacks and consequent probes. (Can CCIM explain that who is attacking Muslims? Is not truth that most of terrorists held for recent Bomb blasts are Muslims?)

Expressing strong anger and displeasure over the Muslim bashing campaign in India and Muslim leaders demanded the government to immediately end this inhuman and unconstitutional operation. Muslim organizations also demanded dismissal of Union Home Minister, Intelligence Bureau chief and Delhi Police Commissioner for their failure in checking the terrorist attacks in the country. (If Muslims help Police then it would be easier for them to tackle Terrorism! Some Muslims support terrorism and it has been proved in Delhi Encounter case!)

The Muslim leaders present felt that so-called Hind organizations are not leaving stone unturned in terrorising the whole Muslim community while injustice is being done with the Muslim youths and they are being harassed and tortured in jails since several years in the name of terrorism. (On which basis Muslims are alleging Hindus for attack on Muslim community. The fact is that at many places, Muslims have attacked Hindus on the occasion of Ganesh Idol procession!)

An all-party meeting of the heads and representatives of Muslim organizations – Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH), Jamiat-e-Ulema Hind, Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawart, Jamiat-e-Ahl-e-Hadees, Shia Political Front, Muslim Political Council, Majlis-e-Ulema Hind was held at the Headquarters of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind in the Capital.

It was attended by representatives of all prominent Muslim organizations. Besides JIH leaders, the attendees included Dr. Zafarul Islam Khan, president of All India Muslim Majlise Mushawarat, Maulana Abdul Hameed Nomani, acting general secretary of Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind, Maualan Abdul Wahab Khilji of All India Milli Council, Dr Tasleem Rahmani of Political Council of India, Dr Ghulam Yahya Anjum, noted Barelvi scholar and Shia scholar Allama Zishan Hidayati.

A 5-member committee was formed to chalk out plans and strategy to take on the anti-Muslim campaign. The committee had Dr. Zafarul Islam Khan, Maulana Abdul Wahab Khilji, Maulana Abdul Hameed Nomani, Dr Tasleem Rahmani and Mujtaba Farooq, political affairs secretary of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind. Maulana Mahmoodul Hasan of Jamiat Ahle Hadees attended today's meeting as special invitee.

Imam Ahmad Bukhari, Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid of New Delhi could not attend the meeting due to some urgent engagement but he gave his consent to all the decisions of the meeting.

Reiterating the demand from Muslim organizations, the committee has demanded a high-level enquiry into all bomb blasts and terrorist attacks in the country. (What about involvement of SIMI & Indian Mujahidin in bomb blasts?)

Besides sacking of Home Minister, IB chief and Delhi Police Commissioner, the committee also demanded dismissal of home ministers and police chiefs of the states where terrorist bombings took place.

It demanded ban on Hindutva extremist organizations like Bajrang Dal, VHP and Hindu Vahini. There are a number of strict laws that are capable of tackling these crimes and so there is no need of any new law, the committee said. (Why Muslim organizations are demanding ban on Hindu Organizations? Most of terrorists held for bomb blast cases are Muslims, so does it proves that all Muslim organization support terrorism? Should all Hindus demand to ban Muslim Organizations?)

Another important demand of the committee is that every decision regarding combating terrorism should be taken by taking the Parliament into confidence.

If these demands are not immediately met by the government, strongly presenting demands a massive agitation will be organized at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar on September 26, after the prayer of last Friday (Jumatul Wida) of holy month of Ramazan. Moreover, top leaders of Muslim organizations will give court arrest and a national public convention would be organized soon after the agitation.

In the long-term programmes, the committee has decided to form a Legal Cell, Planning Cell and Political Cell and Media Cell. The committee has urged the Muslim community to celebrate Eid very simply and pray to God.
