Bangalore : “For the past few years Muslims are being targeted and vilified as terrorists and extremists. All of the political parties – either in power or not in power – are responsible for this heinous crime” said, the President of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind (JUH), Maulana Syed Arshad Madani at a press conference in Bangalore
“This has created a huge deficit factor for the Muslims at the national level. Consequently, it has penetrated deep into the national consciousness that Muslims are terrorists. They are responsible for every act of terrorism in the country – be it the bombing of a Hindu temple or a Mosque or a Railway station” added Maulana Madani.
“JUH is an organization that has always raised voice against the repression and tyranny. It feels itself duty bound to raise its voice against the oppression and the terrible conspiracies being hatched against the Muslims at this very critical phase in history” he continued.
“It is our duty to spread, with full force, the notion that Muslims are not terrorists rather they are the most peace loving” emphasized he adding “The anti-terrorism conference at Deoband in February last year was the commencement of a series of these programmes.”
Replying to a question regarding nature of JUH Maulana Arshad Madani categorically stated, “JUH is purely a religious organization and it has nothing to do with the politics. Whosoever comes to power we are not bothered about that, yes, we definitely would not sit back as mute spectators if Muslims are being victimized. We will raise voice against that”.
He also warned, “India is a secular country and if communalism were to be fanned here then country would shatter into pieces”.
