Kolkata: Jamiat Ulema is completely devoted towards the community and its main objective is to serve ‘Kidmat’ to the people; Jamiat never so ever have aspired for a member of parliament or state assembly status, said Jamiat Ulema Hind’s President (Arshad Madani Group) Maulna Arshad Madani on an annual conference of Jamia Islamia Madinatul Uloom at Memari, Burdwan, West Bengal [WB] on 18th February.
Maulana Arshad Madani addressing the conference
Addressing a massive 50,000 audience he cited several examples to state that Muslims are not anti national; he said that they had to once fight for independence and now they are on their way struggling to attain the basic rights to live as a Muslim in this country. He claimed that it was Jamiat’s initiatives that helped in releasing around 100 innocent Muslims from the Malegaon blast cases and similar such cases within and out of the state.

He asked Muslims to keep away from their excess love towards ‘Duniya’ and he added that the community won’t be pardoned if they deprived others from their ‘Haq’. When the ‘Ayla’ storm devastated many villages of the Sunderban area, he said Jamiat had set up 2700 relief camps and provided food, clothing and tarpaulin to all, regardless of to which community they belonged.
