Mumbai: Stung by criticism for its secret circular that asked police in the state to keep a close eye on Girls Islamic Organization (GIO), Mumbai Police has announced prize for information that will identify the source of the leak of the secret circular.
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) who criticized the police for its circular against its affiliate GIO has curiously welcomed the announcement of the prize to find out who leaked the circular. Mumbai Police has apologized for the leak but has not punished the officers responsible for it.
Engineer Taufique Aslam Khan, President of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Maharashtra said, “We welcome the announcement, at the same time we believe that it’s the internal matter of Mumbai Police that their Secret Circular is leaked.” An easy way would be to ask directly with the reporter of Samna Ashish Bansode, from where and whom he got the circular, he added.
He said, “Our main objection is the circular itself and it remains.” He explained that the text and the language of the circular is defamatory, unconsitituional and are dividing the society on the religious ground.
He said, “The circular is an attempt to tarnish the image of Muslims, the second largest population in India, among fellow citizens and demonizing of one of the great religion of the World, Islam.”
JIH is planning to take legal action in this matter.
Khan also volunteered his organization to educated the officers about Islam and Muslims, “We also like to correct the mindset of the Intelligence and Security personals.We believe that the circular might be a result of ignorance among our Security personals, we offer our services to teach them about Islam as and when required.”
