New Delhi : At a time when India is celebrating 60th Independence Day with utmost zeal and grandeur, a delegation of so-called Muslim intellectuals left the Capital Tuesday evening for Mumbai and will fly from there to Tel Aviv the next day viz. the Independence Day to pay a secret but meticulously planned visit to Israel.

In a scoop front-paged Monday, the Urdu daily Hindustan Express correspondent Shahidul Islam alleges that the delegation members would “sell the sentiments of 20 crore Indian Muslims to their Zionist masters during a meeting scheduled on Friday next.”

The delegation members will call on Israeli foreign minister and chief rabbi as well as prime minister Ehud Olmert.

The Express report also reveals the background of the members of the delegation: “President All India Imam Organisation Maulana Jameel Ilyasi, who is on the delegation, is known for selling the Muslim interest while another member of the delegation and Editor Rashtriya Sahara Aziz Burney has been facing the charges of promoting Zionism and Qadianism. Third member of the delegation Khwaja Iftikhar earned infamy for floating Vajpayee Himayat Committee after the Gujarat massacre (of Muslims) while the fourth member and son of Maulana Jameel Ilyasi, Maulana Umair Ilyasi has brought up in the very lap of RSS (Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh). Fifth member Maulana Abdul Wahid Chishti of Ajmer Dargah has been ensnared somehow. An innocent and noble journalist Shaikh Manzoor of UNI is also accompanying the delegation.”

The delegation of this visit has been facilitated by an American agency AJC which has been working for Israeli causes, says the Express report.

The Express front-paged Tuesday wide criticism and condemnation from various Muslim organisations and conscientious individuals, including Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind secretary Maulana Abdul Hameed Noamani, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind assistant secretary Intizar Naeem, Shia Alim Maulana Syed Aqueelul Gharvi, former Jamiat Ahle Hadith general secretary and member All India Muslim Personal Law Board Maulana Abdul Wahab Khilji, Muslim Political Council of India president Dr Tasleem Rahmani, All India Muslim Majli-e-Mushawarat (Salim Qasmi group) member Mufti Ataur Rahman Qasmi, etc. They have severely condemned these so-called Muslim intellectuals for developing relations with Israel, which has been killing, maiming and terrorising Palestinians. They have also called upon the Indian Muslims to boycott these so-called Muslim leaders.
