Boston: Americans Federation of Muslims of Indian Origin (AFMI) has condemned the Muzaffarnagar violence and has asked the UP government to compensate the victims and bring the culprits to justice.
The violence has led to “hundreds of thousands Muslims have been displaced and have become refugees in their own hometowns.”
AFMI in a statement strongly condemned the communal violence and the politicians that have stirred these tensions. “AFMI urges the Muslim leadership of India to work across party lines to bring peace and security to the region. The polarization on the basis of religious identity does not bode well for India and has the potential to hamper India’s progress domestically as well as internationally,” read the statement.
AFMI demands:
1. The victims are adequately compensated for loss of life and property
2. The displaced people are rehabilitated in their villages and homes
3. The criminals are brought to justice
4. The local party leaders responsible for flaring tensions are arrested and prosecuted.
