New Delhi: RSS front organization Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM) organized an iftar on Saturday where some Indian Muslims and diplomats of Muslim countries were invited.
RSS leader Indresh Kumar who is also the patron of MRM was the only speaker at the function. In his twenty minute speech he lectured Muslims on how to live in peace. He remarked that world over Muslims are responsible for all the violence. He went to ridicule how Muslims are busy debating how to give Talaq. He criticized Asaduddin Owaisi for his refusal to say “Bharat Mata” and told Muslims to be not fanatical.
As if this was not enough Aligarh Muslim University VC Zameeruddin Shah and Jamia Millia Islamia VC Talat Ahmed nodded in agreement.
it is significant to note that Indresh Kumar was mentioned in 2011 in a chargesheet filed by the National Investigative Agency (NIA) charging him to be present at the meeting where the plan for the 2007 Ajmer bomb blast was hatched. The blast at world-famous Ajmer Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti during iftar killed three people and injured 17.
Initially I felt embarrassed to see VCs of two prestigious universities moving around Indresh Kumar. I thought these people are so opportunist. But while speaking to them I felt pity. AMU VC wanted to explain to the RSS leaders how minority character was important for AMU. He wanted to tell his side of the story to them so that government and the Sangh rethink about their stand with regard to AMU. Similarly, Jamia VC also wanted to project RSS was no longer untouchable for him and his institution.
It reflects the kind of fear this regime and the Sangh have casted on prestigious institutions that learned people have to satisfy the ego of an RSS leader.
BJP leaders Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Shah Nawaz Hussain were also in attendance.
Out of thirty-five ambassadors of Muslim countries only three junior officials from Iranian and Syrian embassy turned up.
