New Delhi, September 23 (Daily Kiran) : Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind has announced plans to meet with the President of India to discuss various issues concerning religious and civil rights in the country. The organization stated its intention to utilize constitutional and legal avenues to protect the rights of affected individuals.
The meeting of the working committee took place at the Mahmudia Library, the central office of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind in New Delhi. It was chaired by the organization’s president, Maulana Mahmood Asad Madani. Key members, including Mufti Abul Qasim Nomani from Darul Uloom Deoband, participated in the discussions.
During the meeting, participants reviewed the current situation in the country, focusing on fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution, religious freedom, Sharia-related topics, and matters concerning religious sites, mosques, and madrasas.
Earlier, Jamiat’s General Secretary Maulana Mohammad Hakimuddin Qasmi read the minutes from the previous meeting, which were subsequently approved.
The working committee expressed concerns over administrative actions across various states, the status of civil and religious rights, incidents of mob lynching, and the demolition of mosques and madrasas. They resolved to raise these issues at the highest constitutional levels. A request for a meeting with the President will be made to present the grievances and concerns of affected individuals.
The organization emphasized that it would also pursue these matters through relevant constitutional and legal platforms to safeguard the rights of those impacted.
In a media interaction following the meeting, Maulana Mahmood Asad Madani criticized the government’s alleged unilateral actions and the purported bias of the administration, which he claimed limit effective legal recourse for affected individuals.
Madani pointed out that when one community faces unilateral actions backed by administrative support, it raises significant concerns. He noted that such grievances are not confined to a single state or region.
He warned that if members of a community feel they have no effective means to seek justice, it poses a troubling situation for any society or nation.
In light of these concerns, Jamiat has decided to pursue all available constitutional and legal avenues.
Madani urged Muslims and the general populace not to feel disheartened or fearful, emphasizing the importance of continuing efforts for their rights through constitutional and democratic means.
“This country is ours, and we are equal citizens. Protecting our constitutional and legal rights is our fundamental right,” he stated.
He affirmed that Jamiat would leverage constitutional, legal, and democratic means to strengthen the Constitution, uphold the rule of law, and preserve the nation’s constitutional identity.
The meeting also covered other issues pertinent to the organization, leading to several decisions. Notable attendees included Maulana Mahmood Asad Madani, Maulana Mohammad Hakimuddin Qasmi, Mufti Abul Qasim Nomani, and other officials from various states connected to the organization.
