Mumbai: A group of Muslim NGOs are castigating the Congress-led UPA government in the centre for its inactiveness in regard to Assam’s ethnic violence and Muslim genocide in Myanmar. They strongly condemned violence in any part of the world, appealed for peace and urged the Indian Govt. to act urgently to control the month-long ethnic violence in Assam in a press conference today at Mumbai’s Marathi Patrakar Sangh.
Maulana Mahmood Daryabadi, general secretary All India Ulama Council, Maulana Burhanuddin Qasmi, director Markazul Ma’arif Education and Research Centre, Dr Azimuddin, president Movement for Human Welfare, Mr. Farid Shaikh, president Mumbai Aman Committee, Maulana Ejaz Khashmiri, Maulana Anis Ashrafi and Mr. Dawood Khan addressed the press meet and criticized the United Nations Organization and Amnesty International for their failure in controlling the genocide in Myanmar.
The leaders were also critical on the role of media which is deliberately playing down the tow ongoing planned mass-killing of minority Muslim in India and Myanmar. Some media houses are even propagating for the oppressors, they charged.
The social and educational NGO leaders have charged that the Congress-led Assam state government is involved in the recent violence because BPF former BLT (Bodo Libration Tiger— a terrorist outfit) is the coalition partner in the Assam government with two ministerial berths. They demanded that the autonomy given to BTAD (Bodo Territorial Autonomous Districts) must be revoked with urgent affect because in the 4 BTAD districts Bodos are only 30 percent of the total population, Muslim are 60 percent and 10 percent others. It is unjust, inhuman that the majority of the population be deprived of their basic rights, they said.
The leading NGO members have shown their anxiety over Buddhist religious leader Dalai Lama and pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s silence in regard to ongoing mass- murders in Myanmar. They termed the duo’s campaign for ‘peace’ and ‘democracy’ as hypocritically selective acts when it comes to speak for oppressed Muslims in Myanmar.
According to some media report 35 thousand innocent Muslims are already killed including 12 thousand children. It is just unbearable, they said, India being the leading member of SAARC and G-20 countries must play it’s role in bringing the culprits of Myanmar genocide to the International Court of Justice, the Muslim religious leader have urged.
The leading Muslim NGOs of Mumbai have called for a mass agitation against Assam ethnic cleansing and Myanmar holocaust in Mumbai’s Azad Maidan on Monday –13th August from 1 pm onwards. They urged all other humanitarian NGOs and public to take the call positively and registered their protest against ‘the crimes against humanity’ being committed in Assam and Myanmar. By all means ‘we stand by the oppressed people’, they said.
