Muslims will consider supporting AAP, if it offers concrete programme for them: Amir JIH
New Delhi: Amid the talk of communal forces emerging stronger, India is going to polls. The fear of BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is perhaps more felt by the Muslim minority than anyone else. The “secular” Congress—charged with corruption and misrule—does not seem much energetic and confident at this moment. At this crucial juncture what strategy should the largest religious minority community of the country adopt in the upcoming General and assembly elections? What are the options available for them? To learn about this and more, Mishab Irikkur, Mohammad Raghib and Abhay Kumar interacted with Maulana Jalaluddin Omari, the Amir (national president) of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) last week at the New Delhi headquarter. The seventy-nine year old Amir--who is an Islamic scholar and author of dozens of books--spoke on a host of issues such as elections, politics, the social and economic problems of Muslims, reservation, framing of innocent Muslim youth on terror charges etc. The JIH---which came into existence soon after the Jamaat-e-Islami had split into two separate organisations during Partition -- is one of the most influential Islamic organizations among Muslims that mainly does “intellectual” work and carries out welfare activities as well. The excerpts are as follows.

Worshipping Gods in the times of Elections
By Ram Puniyani,
Arun Shourie, who was part of NDA, a fellow traveler and an ideologue of BJP wrote several books, many of them against minorities and dalits in particular. One of these which was strongly protested against by large sections of people, dalits in particular, was his “Worshipping False Gods”. In this book he expressed the mind set of RSS-BJP politics towards Ambedkar. In this long bulky volume he was heavily critical of Ambedkar’s ideology, his agitations for democratic values and his struggles for social justice. Now a decade and half later on one side many a dalit leaders, Ramvilas Paswan, Udit Raj, Ramdas Athwaley are vying to sit in the lap of the politics of BJP for apparently their own personal gains on one side and on the other the BJP’s Prime Ministerial Candidate Narendra Modi is going miles to woo the sections of dalits. It is another matter that while doing this in his usual trade mark style he has no qualms about misrepresenting the events, speaking lies and putting the blame of all that has not taken place to his political adversaries.

Contemporary Dalit Politics and Ambedkar’s Goal of Caste Annihilation
By Ram Puniyani,
On 28th Feb (2014) Ramvilas Paswan of Loktantantrik Jan Party joined the NDA alliance. Same Paswan had left the NDA twelve years ago with the beginning of Gujarat carnage, saying that with the violence in Gujarat he cannot be part of NDA. This time his son formulated the face saver when he said that Modi has received clean chit in the Gujarat carnage. Few days ago another dalit leader Udit Raj directly joined BJP, with the assurance of being given a ticket for forthcoming elections. In Maharashtra, Ramdas Athwaley of Republican Party of India had become part of NDA, and succeeded in being nominated for Rajya Sabha, Upper house of Parliament. There are many others dalits in the fold of BJP directly or in alliance with BJP to be in NDA, for pre poll alliance. Most of these leaders claim to be working on the path shown by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Ambedkar was committed to annihilation of caste and was totally opposed to the concept of Hindu nationalism, as propounded by RSS-BJP.

By TCN News,
लखनऊ : पिछले दिनों मीडिया में आए वीडियो पर योगी आदित्यनाथ ने आरोप लगाया कि इसके पीछे नक्सलवादी ताकतों की साज़िश है. इसके बाद वीडियो के मूल स्रोत डाक्यूमेंट्री फिल्म ‘सैफ्रन वार’ के निर्माता-निदेशक सदस्यों ने इसे उल-जलूल हरकत करार देते हुए फिल्म में उठाए गए दलितों के हिन्दूकरण, महिला हिंसा, देश विरोधी विदेशी संगठनों से योगी के गठजोड़ और राष्ट्रपिता महात्मा गांधी की हत्या में इस राजनीति की भूमिका से ध्यान हटाने की कोशिश बताया. डॉक्यूमेंट्री फिल्मकार शाहनवाज़ आलम, राजीव यादव और लक्ष्मण प्रसाद ने कहा कि योगी आदित्यनाथ वीडियो को कभी अपना तो कभी कट- पेस्ट बता रहे हैं, लेकिन हमने पहले भी मीडिया द्वारा इस बात को संज्ञान में लाया है कि इस वीडियो के मूल स्रोत को न्यायालय से लेकर चुनाव आयोग सभी को सौंपा जा चुका है. लेकिन सरकार योगी पर किसी भी कार्यवाही के बजाय मुद्दे को सिर्फ चुनावी रणनीति की तरह देख रही है. योगी आदित्यनाथ भी इस अनदेखी का पूरा लाभ उठा रहे है. इस मामले में कोई भी कार्यवाही न करके चुनाव आयोग अपनी जवाबदेही से तो बच ही रहा है, साथ ही योगी को बचाने वाले अपने अधिकारियों को भी बचाने की कोशिश में लगा हुआ है.
