NEW DELHI — Prime Minister Modi’s silence on hate speech during a Dharm Sansad (religious gathering) in Haridwar despite many appeals is dangerous for the country, said Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind (JUH) Delhi Vice President and eminent social activist Haji Yusuf Sheikh in a press conference in New Delhi on Monday.
Sheikh said that such a “silence on such a big issue (impacting minorities of the country) will always be remembered in history.”
“Targeting a particular religion through a Dharam Sansad program in Haridwar, Uttarakhand and making uncivilized rhetoric and hateful declarations of killing people, and instilling hatred in the minds of youth is against the country,” he said.
He stated that India is a country where it has been a tradition that everyone was living together like one family. “The atmosphere of hatred never flourished in the country, but some people today want to divide the country by damaging the fabric of peace and dignity,” he said.
Stating that Maulana Tauqir Raza gave a befitting reply to such evil elements in Bareilly saying that thousands of youth are ready to sacrifice for the country, Sheikh said that “the hate-mongers were appealed to join in the fight against country’s enemies, especially China.”
“Maulana Syed Mahmud Asad Madani had announced in the meeting of Meerut that if Ulama of Barelvi came forward to serve the nation, we were ready to follow them,” Sheikh said.
He added that the above statements and announcements made by community elders are commendable. “These statements will create an atmosphere of unity and harmony among the countrymen,” he said, and added, “In future, the whole country will be united and respond appropriately to the situation. “
