Mumbai: On the occasion of 16th Parliamentary elections Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, after consultation with others, have come up with a public manifesto and a nationwide campaign “Desh Ka Vikas Nyay Aur Sadbhavna ke Saath”.
A statement by JIH read, “Amid all the chaos and confusing marketing campaigns, important issues affecting the common people of our country are getting confused…Social networking sites empowered the common people but sad to that are influenced by hiring professionals and became a platform for a fight between personalities.”
It also praised the emergence of Aam Aadmi party for rising out of a social movement, but warned them of falling “prey to prevailing political system.”
JIH believes that although inflation and corruption are the biggest problems today, but the country also needs inclusive development but emergence of fascist and totalitarian political movements constitutes a great threat to the country.
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Maharashtra is conducting this campaign from 31st January to 09th February 2014.
The objective of the campaign are (1) To make the public politically aware of their rights and how to achieve and protect them, (2) To achieve and maintain communal harmony in the society, (3) And to defeat fascist forces.
JIH argues that the elections 2014 provide one more opportunity to people of India to come forward to fulfill their constitutional obligation to protect the fundamental values of the constitution and the Idea of India.
