New Delhi, May 16: Former Rajya Sabha MP Mohammad Adeeb has raised alarming concerns regarding the safety of Muslims in India. He claims that a systematic effort to undermine Muslim votes is underway through the use of the SIR (Special Investigation Report). Adeeb stated that the country is currently engulfed in a wave of hatred. He believes that to save the nation, Muslims should withdraw from politics.
In a recent discussion, Adeeb also questioned Asaduddin Owaisi’s role in this context.
Question: Why should Indian Muslims refrain from voting?
Answer: Muslims have experienced everything. They have tried aligning with various parties. However, over the past decade, Muslims have been reduced to a mere catalyst in the political landscape. Much has been destroyed in the country, yet elections are often won by teaching Muslims a lesson and inflicting suffering upon them. This has become a cause for celebration and electoral victories. If we want to save this country, elections should focus on issues like livelihood and employment, rather than Hindu-Muslim divides.
When our presence leads to electoral losses for others, even well-meaning candidates are defeated. Currently, hostility is directed against Muslims, and the atmosphere created by the current government suggests that the best course of action is for us to step back.
The trend of undermining Muslim votes through SIR has begun, as one faction believes that Muslims are not supporting them. The Chief Minister of West Bengal has also made statements indicating that Muslims did not vote for them.
India is now suffering from a storm of hatred. To save the nation, Muslims should withdraw from politics, as there seems to be no other option left. Muslims hold no significant status in any political party.
The mockery of Hinduism is being built on a foundation of hatred. It may be best for us to separate ourselves from this situation.
Question: If Muslims do not vote, won’t there be a risk of losing their voting rights?
Answer: What is happening now? We have to constantly assert our identity while walking on the street or outside mosques. The Prime Minister claims, “We can identify people by their clothes,” which means our identity has already been predetermined. We have been portrayed as villains in this country. Bulldozers often target Muslim homes.
After the BJP’s victory in Bengal, there have been incidents of celebrations inside mosques. Everyone is watching, including the police, and these matters are reaching the Supreme Court.
When I made this statement, many Muslims understood my point, but several non-Muslims responded with insults, telling me to “go to Pakistan,” while their own leaders’ children acquire citizenship in other countries. Yet, Muslims continue to be taught lessons.
The only solution is for all opposition parties to unite. If we want to save the nation, all opposition parties must come together to fight. If political parties are not willing to collaborate for elections, Muslims should distance themselves from the electoral process.
Question: Are Muslims in danger in India?
Answer: What status do Muslims in India have now? We are on the verge of becoming like the Muslims in Myanmar. We have not yet become like the Palestinians in Gaza, but that could happen too. If the courts remain silent and hatred persists within the police, conditions could worsen.
Recent events in Bhopal, where a Muslim youth was attacked, are a clear example. The accused remained protected by the police. If the police were honest and the courts active, everyone would be equal under the Constitution, but the ground realities do not reflect this.
Question: Can Muslims trust Congress?
Answer: Every party is focused on ensuring that their Hindu votes do not slip away. They believe Muslims will have no choice but to vote for them. Therefore, I urge Muslims to eliminate this compulsion by stepping back. Our mosques are being attacked, yet no one takes to the streets. They know that Muslims will vote for them out of necessity. Despite this, Muslims have tried aligning with various leaders like Lalu, Mulayam, and Congress.
Ultimately, figures like Owaisi emerge out of frustration. His 2-3 percent following is not due to offering an alternative, but because Muslims are desperate for representation. There is a secular segment among Hindus, but they often lose elections due to the Muslim vote and are labeled as traitors. Their protection is essential.
Question: If Muslims distance themselves, will it benefit them?
Answer: There are certain Muslim communities, like the Bohra and Khoja, that do not participate in elections. This has contributed to their prosperity. Therefore, all Muslims should withdraw from politics. They should focus on their work, education, and building their lives. However, the challenge is that some individuals believe that entering politics is the only way to earn money, as it has become a means of exploitation. Meanwhile, the common man, who has no connection to politics, struggles to make a living.
