President of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Maulana Mahmood Madani writes a letter to Home Minister and Delhi Police Commissioner. A JUH delegation also called on the Joint Commissioner of Police and DCP New Delhi Range.
NEW DELHI – Inflammatory anti-Muslims slogans were raised on Jantar Mantar on Sunday during a march against “Colonial-era laws in the country”. The rally was called by Supreme Court Lawyer Ashwini Upadhyay and it turned into an event of hate slogans raised against the Muslim community.
In this regard, the National President of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Maulana Mahmood A. Madani on Monday sent a letter to the Home Minister Amit Shah and Delhi Police Commissioner Shri Rakesh Asthana. Apart from this, a delegation led by Maulana Hakeemuddin Qasmi, General Secretary, Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, called on Jaspal Singh, Joint Police Commissioner, New Delhi Range and Deepak Yadav, DCP at his makeshift camp at Jantar Mantar and handed over a copy of the said letter to them.
“The hate shouting video is being circulated and shared by a large number of people on social media platforms. It has hurt the Muslims and peace-loving people across all communities,” reads the letter.
“I would like to request you to kindly instruct concerned officers at the Ministry of Home Affairs and Delhi Police to take stern actions against the culprits who are found involved in this. I am apprehensive about the situation developing in Delhi, and the law and order of Delhi is being put at risk by extremist groups once again and a situation like Delhi Riots 2020 may recur if such elements are not punished,” the letter says.
The letter also mentioned the statement of the newly appointed commissioner of Police, Delhi, Rakesh Asthana Ji, who has affirmed that communal harmony and fairness will be his top priority. “But mere assurance is not enough; this must be followed by action,” JIH said.
During a meeting with the Joint Commissioner of Police and DCP at Jantar Mantar, the JUH delegation shared similar views and expressed hope that the police would bring culprits to justice. The Joint Commissioner assured the delegation that stern action would be taken with due process.
He said that all aspects of the video were being reviewed and an FIR had been registered against such persons.
The delegation comprises Maulana Hakeemuddin Qasmi, Janab Mohammad Mubashir and Azeemullah Siddiqi
