Hyderabad : Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal resolved at a meeting here Monday to send a delegation to Chief Minister YS Rajshekhra Reddy to formally lodge a protest against the arrest of Principal Madrasa Sabeel-ul-Falah Mufti Muhammad Ashraf Ali by Gujarat police so that the chief minister might convey the resentment of Muslims to the government of Gujarat. A delegation of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal will call on the chief minister in this regard at 3.30 p.m. Tuesday.
The meeting of the Muttahida Majlis held at the residence of its convenor Maulana Muhammad Hamiduddin Aaquil Hussami decided to hand over the case of Mufti Ashraf Ali to the lawyer of Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen in Gujarat, Bhagwandas Misrilal Gupta.
The meeting also decided to stage large scale protest marches in the various towns and cities all over the State to voice against the arrests of Muslims by Gujarat police.
The Ulema and community leaders participating in the meeting expressed their deep resentment on the role of city police in the entire episode.
They also voiced grave concern over the city police's bid to seek detailed information about the number of students, teachers including their addresses, staff members of madrasa managements as well as sources of income of Darul Uloom Sabeelus Salaam, Madrasa Hidayatul Uloom, Jamia Ilahiya and Jamiatul Muflihat.
"It was only recently that the chief minister, while addressing a programme to distribute computer sets among the madrasas, had said that the Islamic seminaries of the State are radiating the light of knowledge and that there is no information about terrorist activities there. But contrary to this assertion, the city police is busy profiling the seminaries and those associated with them," they resolved.
The meeting was attended by Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi, Maulana Syed Muhammadul Husaini, Maulana Syed Taqui Raza Abdi, Maulana Syed Masood Husaini Mujtahidi, Maulana Shah Muhammad Jamalur Rahman, Maulana Abdul Aleem Kausar Qasmi, Maulana Safi Ahmed Madani, Maulana Abdul Qayyoom Mazahiri, Maulana Ahmed Muhiuddin, Maulana Qazi Muhammad Samiuddin Qasmi, Secretary Deeni Madaris Board Raheemuddin Ansari, Muhammad Hussamuddin Thani, Maulana Mirajuddin Ali Abrar, Maulana Maqsad Yamani Mazahiri, Muhammad Shujaullah Khan Advocate, Muhammad Muniruddin Mukhtar and other madrasa functionaries.
