FMSA condemns appeal by Maulana Kalbe Jawwad against congress candidates

By TCN News,

Aligarh: Forum for Muslim Studies & Analysis (FMSA) Aligarh held at Media Centre, Aligarh, to analyze the fallout of the call of eminent Shia Maulana Kalbe Jawwad to the Muslim voters to oppose Congress candidates. The forum observed that fragmentation in the Muslim votes will only strengthen the communal and fascist forces in the country. It should be recalled that Maulana Kalbe Jawwad had visited several Shia Muslim concentrated areas in Lucknow and appealed to defeat the Congress candidates in the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. Analyzing the call, Aligarh Muslim University Department of Civil Engineering Professor Razaullah Khan pointed out that before every election; some people including Maulana Kalbe Jawwad come out in support or in opposition to specific party. It depicts that they have no community concern but have their own agenda.

Editor of the Aligarh Movement Magazine & Secretary of FMSA, Jasim Mohammad said that the appeal of Maulana Kalbe Jawwad will have no impact because people have made their mind upon to change the government in state. He opined that there is a gigantic support for the Congress in many areas and the appeal by Maulana Jawwad or any other ‘Maulana’ will fall on deaf ears.

Senior columnist and political analyst N Jamal Ansari said that a sectarian view of the problems should not overtake national interests and the chain of reforms launched by Congress should not be broken through mere sentiments. Prof. Humayun Murad said that Maulana instead of performing religious duties and social reforms has gone beyond his domain by interfering in polities. It’s not a healthy sign, he said.

Prof. Syed Iqbal Ali pointed out that, the present context demands a positive approach and such minor issues should be put on back burner keeping the national interest in mind. Dr Fatima Zehra said that influence of Maulana Jawwad is confined to some localities of Lucknow onlyand it is better not to give importance to his outbursts.

In the end, a resolution was passed which stated that, “Saner elements of the Indian citizenry and Muslim society strongly condemns the appeal of Maulana Kalbe Jawwad to oppose Congress Party’s candidates.” The resolution has demanded that people should vote in favor of Congress to defeat the designs of the selfish elements of the society. Apart from the large number of intellectuals, teachers, and Research Scholars, DGF Sabri, Syed Imam Raza, Alisha, Deeba Abrar too were present for the meeting.
