Summary

Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind (JUH), the biggest and the most dangerous organization with Wahabi ideology,

is in the limelight these days. The organization has always been very close to the Congress. Taking

command from the Congress, the JUH organized Rashtriya Ekta Sammelan in which the Congress,

Left parties and pseudo-secularists leaders targeted the Modi government and the Sangh Pariwar.

Strange thing is that the organization claiming to be a nationalist outfit openly supported Kanhaiya

Kumar and other anti-national gang of Jawaharlal Nehru University. Even the father of Omar Khalid

participated in the JUH programme.

History of the JUH was very controversial that was started in 1920. Though their leaders have been

claiming to have participated in freedom struggle but their objective was to reestablish Islamic rule in

India. The organization has close relations with dreaded terrorists.

Always in the limelight for making controversial statement, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen

MP Asaduddin Owaisi has once again racked up controversy. He said in a public meeting at Latur, “I

will not say Bharat Mata Ki Jai, even if someone puts knife over my neck.” Actually he made such a

controversial statement due to his deteriorating support base among a section of the Muslim

community. Most of the Muslims opposed statement of Owaisi and when AIMIM MLA Waris Pathan

refused to say Bharat Mata Ki Jai he was expelled from the Assembly for the budget session. Dainik

Inquilab wrote in its editorial that there was no problem with Muslims calling Madre Watan Jindabad

but when the same thing is said in Hindi Owaisi is having problem. It appears that Owaisi is playing in

hands of people who want to split the country.

Vishnu Sahay commission set up by the Akhilesh Yadav government on Muzaffarnagar riots

submitted its report to the government. The report puts all the blame of riots on administration and

two officials while the government was given a clean chit. This is the reason that most of the Urdu

newspaper criticized it.

Sartaz Aziz, adviser to Pakistan Prime minister Nawaz Sharif, accepted that Islamic madarsa of

Pakistan have become den of terrorism. These madarsa are giving terror training and they are

preparing human bombs. Mosques and madarsa have underground buildings that are used for

terrorist activities therefore these madarsa are being closed.

Urdu Media on Bharat Mata Ki Jai

Attempt made by All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MP Asaduddin Owaisi to polarize

Muslim votes by refusing to say Bharat Mata Ki Jai was an attempt to confuse Muslims in view of

forthcoming Assembly elections in five states. But it failed to get him desired results. Most of the Urdu

newspapers did not pay much heed to it.

Out of seven Urdu Newspapers in Delhi just three took speech of Owaisi on the front page that to as a

single column news report. Roznama Rashtriya Sahara on March 15 gave headline – Would not chant

Bharat Mata Ki Jai even if knife is put on the neck: Owaisi. Inquilab on March 15 published this as a

single column news report with the headline – Owaisi's answer to the RSS, would not say Bharat Mata

Ki Jai Bhagwat sahib.

Hindustan Express on March 15 published a two column news report. Akhbar Mashriq also gave

single column space to it. Dainik Sahafat (March 15) and Hamara Samaj (March 15) did not at all

publish this news report. Hyderabad-based Etemaad which is Owaisi's own newspaper made it the

main news report.

Roznama Rashtriya Sahara on March 16 published this news report in three columns with the

headline – Owaisi in a fix over his Bharat Mata ki Jai statement. According to the newspaper, president

of AIMIM and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi was targeted from all across. On one hand he was

attacked in Parliament when Union HRD minister Smriti Irani asked if Bharat Mata Ki Jai would not be

chanted in India then where would it be. She said that this controversy was pointing towards a big

challenge that we were going through. BJP MP Prahlad Singh Patel took up the matter in Parliament

requesting the speaker of the Lok Sabha to ask clarification from him. Parliament must decide if he

deserves to be a member of the Lok Sabha or not. On the other hand Rajya Sabha member Javed Akhtar

took Owaisi on by saying that calling Bharat Mata Ki Jai was not his duty but right. He further said that

Owaisi argued that it was not written in constitution and would not say at any cost. Akhtar said that

Owaisi must tell that where was it written in the constitution to wear cap and Sherwani. Javed Akhtar

chanted Bharat Mata Ki Jai thrice.

Expulsion of Waris Pathan from the Maharashtra Assembly was given much of importance. Roznama

Rashtriya Sahara on March 17 published it as the main news report with the headline – On the issue of

Waris Pathan refusing to chant Bharat Mata Ki Jai, the Congress, the BJP and the Shiv Sena join hands.

Inquilab on March 17 put these reports on inside pages with a five-column report with picture. Dainik

Sahafat on March 17 published a report on front page in which Najma Heptulla was attributed


supporting the slogan chanting. Hindustan Express published this news report on front page in three

columns along with pictures of Waris Pathan and Owaisi.

Hamara Samaj on March 17 gave this news enough space on the front page. Dainik Etemaad on March

17 gave space to the suspension report on the front page.

Etemaad published a report on March 18 in which Waris Pathan was attributed saying that he did not

violate any constitutional provision because nowhere in the constitution it was written to chant Bharat

Mata Ki Jai. Another MLA of the same party Imtiaz Jalil called suspension of Waris as murder of

democracy.

The same newspaper reported one Islamic organization Wahdat Islami Telengana's Maulana

Naseeruddin supporting Owaisi by saying that entire Muslim community was with him. Muslim

cannot worship anything or anyone.

Etemaad on March 18 published a news report on front page which had the headline Hindutva forces

attacked Owaisi. As per the newspaper Shiv Sena demanded that such people who were refusing to

chant Bharat Mata Ki Jai their citizenship must be scrapped.

Parliamentary Affairs minister Venkaiah Naidu said that Razakars also refused to chant Bharat Mata

Ki Jai. He said that he was unable to understand that why it was being opposed while it has got nothing

to do with religion.

According to the same newspaper, two cases have been filed against Owaisi in Bihar. As per another

news report, BJP president Amit Shah claimed that over 99 per cent people are in favour of chanting

this slogan.

Etemaad on March 18 editorial supported statement of Owaisi and claimed that chanting Bharat Mata

Ki Jai is anti-Islamic. The newspaper also criticized decision of suspending Waris Pathan from

Assembly calling it murder of freedom of expression.

Dainik Inquilab suggested Owaisi on March 18 that he must not rack up new controversies. His

statement of not chanting slogan Bharat Mata Ki Jai was highly disappointing. The newspaper said

that how strange was this to say Madre Hind Jindabad and no one objected. But when the same slogan

was chanted in Hindi then Owaisi explodes. He says he is not ready to chant it even if anyone put knife

over his neck.

Dainik Hamara Samaj on March 18 supported Owaisi with headline like – War on Bharat Mata slogan.

It alleged that the BJP government failed on development therefore it was resorting to anti-people and

authoritarian activities. People are being instigated against Muslims. The newspaper criticized

expulsion of Waris Shah from the Assembly asking if chanting Bharat Mata Ki Jai was certificate for the

real patriot and not chanting it was being anti-national.

Hindustan Express on March 18 wrote an editorial criticizing Owaisi that he gave such statements for

making headlines in the newspapers which cannot be called right. The statement about chanting


Bharat Mata Ki Jai was of similar kind which should not be encouraged. But this was equally true that

people insisting on chanting Bharat Mata Ki Jai was actually trying to divide the country which was

more dangerous than statement of Owaisi.

Dainik Sahafat on March 18 complained that the government adopted double standards. No action

was taken on statements made by Yogi Aadityanath while Muslims were targeted.

Background of Owaisi

Treason is in the blood of Owaisi. His father and grandfather have been jailed on several occasions for

inciting communal violence. A case of treason is in the court against his younger brother Akbaruddin

Owaisi.

As far as AIMIM was concerned, it was set up on instigation of seventh Nizam Mir Osman Khan in 1927

with the aim of setting up a separate Muslim Nation called Hyderabad. In 1938 the command of this

organization had gone to treasure of All India Muslim League Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung. In 1941 a

lawyer from Beed Qasim Rizvi contacted Nizam through Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung and Nizam gave

crores of rupees to set up a Muslim army called Razakars. They were equipped with arms and

ammunitions. First they started killing Hindus living in Hyderabad state and looting and raping

Hindu women. After independence they started targeting police post in the bordering area of

Hyderabad by hitting at Hindu villages. Meanwhile Nizam refused to join Indian Union and

announced independence of Hyderabad.

Razakars chief Qasim Rizvi started threatening hoisting Muslim Nizamshahi flag in Delhi. When

atrocities of Razakars intensified the then home minister Sarder Patel was forced to take police action

against them. They surrendered before the Indian Army and Nizam was forced to merge Hyderabad

state into Indian Union. Indian Army arrested leaders of Ittehadul Muslimeen and Razakars.

Thousands of Razakars were stripped their arms. Qasim Rizvi was arrested and court sentenced him

life imprisonment. Ittehadul Muslimeen was banned.

Qasim Rizvi was released by the Indian government in 1957 on the condition that he would leave India

within 24 hours. Qasim Rizvi handed over command of Ittehadul Muslimeen to Wahid Owaisi -- the

grandfather of Assaduddin Owaisi and since then this party became personal property of the Owaisi

family. In 1960 Abdul Wahid Owaisi met Pandit Nehru and after that ban on Ittehadul Muslimeen was

lifted. The electoral alliance of the party with the Congress continued till 2011.


II

Urdu media on JNU controversy

Urdu newspapers played up news reports concerning suicide of Rohit Vemula and anti-national

activities of Jawaharlal Nehru University.

Aalami Sahara on February 27 published news report about Jawaharlal Nehru University as the main

news report and openly supported anti-national elements. In the weekly newspaper the role of vice

chancellor was criticized. According to the editorial, letter written by main educationists of the country

criticized vice chancellor Jagdish Kumar and said comparison on the disputed matter cannot be anti-

national. These intellectuals said that several people feel that Afzal Guru was not provided with proper

legal assistance so he was hanged. People might have agreement or disagreement on Afzal Guru but

there is unanimity on the issue that everyone has the right to discuss the issue and could have their own

opinion on this. These intellectuals wrote in their letter that in a big country like India no one can say for

sure that what was nationalism and what was anti-nationalism. Police action in JNU made it clear that

the government was trying to suppress opponents. This is a serious matter for the country. Democracy

is in danger due to such acts. These intellectuals were of the opinion that vice chancellor did not show

prudence in dealing with the matter rather by calling the police in the campus crush their right of

freedom of speech and their ideology. Editorial also said that Rahul Gandhi met with the President to

say that RSS was thrusting its ideology on everyone and the matter of JNU was one of the connecting

links. Write up of Naiyab Hussain published in the same issue tells that democracy is getting ended

very fast in the country. Authoritarian approach of the Modi government stands exposed across the

world. Several film stars were also targeted for freedom of expression and their nationalism was

questioned. The newspaper claimed discussing speech of Kanhaiya Kumar that in his entire speech the

BJP government, RSS and ABVP was criticized but not a single world was uttered that could be called

as anti-national. The question is that if tweets can prove anyone anti-national and terrorist? However,

Hafiz Sayeed himself refuted allegations made by Union Home Minister that he has got nothing to do

with JNU incidence through a video. The newspaper expressed regret that the mainstream media was

partial and working like a government employee.

According to Hamara Samaj (February 26), Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, father of the accused in the case

of treason in Jawaharlal University matter Omar Khalid said that he was concerned about security of

his son. He said that treason charges against university students are baseless. This is to recall that Dr

Ilyas is member of All India Muslim Personal Law Board and president of Welfare Party started by

Jamate Islami.

According to Hamara Samaj (February 26), a joint conference organized by human right organizations

demanded withdrawal of cases against JNU students. They demanded that the government falsely

implicated them while no action has been taken against the real culprits. Chairman of the organization


A Marx claimed that he investigated the matter and reached a conclusion that people arrested by the

police did not chant anti-national slogan. Anees Ansari belonging to Muslim organization called

Popular Front was also present on the occasion. He demanded from the home minister Rajnath Singh

to resign from his post as he alleged these students being associated with Pakistani terrorist Hafiz

Sayeed. He demanded resignation of Union HRD minister Smriti Irani for the death of Rohit Vemula

finding her guilty. Marx also claimed that vice chancellor was responsible for whatever had happened

in JNU who had earlier allowed observing anniversary and later cancelling the permission.

Dawat, mouthpiece of Jamate Islami, on February 28 alleged that in the university the unity between

Dalits and Muslims baffled Sangh Pariwar so they started inciting communalism. Some students were

deliberately targeted under pressure from the cabinet ministers and in its campaign Sangh Pariwar

was assisted by media. Whatever had happened in Patiala house was a complete anarchy. The police

had beaten up Kanhaiya in custody and he was forced to write a letter. After that his bail was opposed

by the Delhi police, however, the Delhi police commissioner earlier declared not to oppose bail of

Kanhaiya. It is alleged that the Delhi police commissioner had become puppet of the government.

According to Hindustan Express (February 24), Indian Muslim League participated in the march

organized by Dalit students. According to the press release, Muslim League general secretary E T

Mohammad Bashir said that he was with protesting students.

III

Clean chit to government into Muzaffarnagar riots

According to Hamara Samaj (March 7), judicial commission investigating Muzaffarnagar communal

riots held local administration and intelligence agencies responsible for failure to check riots. In the

communal riots in September 2013, 68 persons were killed and over 5000 were rendered homeless. The

state government constituted a committee under Justice Vishnu Sahay. The report tabled in the State

Assembly gave clean chit to the state government and did not comment on the role of politicians. The

commission held the then SSP Subhash Chandra Dubey responsible and an inspector of intelligence

department Prabal Pratap Singh while suggested to investigate the role of district magistrate. The

government accepted that intelligence agencies failed to provide any prior information and failed to

make available information about mahapanchayat. The government said that departmental inquiry on

the role of the then SSP and intelligence inspector was undergoing. The government termed it a big

mistake not to assess the number of people present at mahapanchayats and not allowing recording

their speeches. As per the report of the commission, releasing the 14 accused of killing of Sachin and

Gaurav sent a wrong message that the administration was working under pressure of local Muslims.

Commission held this as reason for the riots. Investigation is continuing on putting footage against BJP

MLA Sangeet Som and others on YouTube. There were cases registered against former MP Qadir Rana,


Noor Salim Rana, Shahid Siddiqui and Ehsan Qureshi for convening mahapanchayat on August 30,

2013. Similarly there is no recording and speeches available of Hindu mahapanchayat held on

September 7, 2013. Intelligence agencies failed to assess the number of crowd. The commission also

questioned the role of media and said that reports published with pictures incited violence further.

Media did not play its social responsibility. Due to these reports riots reached neighbouring areas like

Shamli, Baghpat, Meerut and Saharanpur. The same newspaper expressed its opinion that attempts

have been made to save the state government and other people responsible for riots. Riots were part of

the election strategy made by the SP and the BJP. President of Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind Maulana Arshad

Madani, Imam Bukhari, Farida Khan, Shabnam Hasmi and Congress leader Shehzad Poonawalla

alleged that in this report culprits were deliberately saved.

Hindustan Express in its editorial on March 8 criticizing this report said that the commission kept

mum on the role of politicians. It appears that the report has been prepared in view of the forthcoming

elections of Uttar Pradesh.

According to Hamara Samaj (March 8), Mayawati said about this report that attempt was made to save

the government while astonishment was expressed over the report in the editorial which said that

blame was fixed on two officers while attempt was made to put a curtain on politicians involved.

People became hopeless whose relatives were killed. This report is due to an unholy alliance between

the BJP and the SP. The state government failed to get justice for aggrieved. The SP will pay the price for

it in the coming elections.

Dainik Sahafat (March 8) criticized this report by saying that this riot was caused by politicians to win

elections.

Etemaad in its editorial on March 10 wrote that this report was made by Samajwadi Party to win

elections. This is a bitter truth that Uttar Pradesh government failed to provide security to Muslims.

Akhbar Mashriq in its editorial on March 12 criticized the Vishnu Sahay report and complained that

Muslims in Uttar Pradesh are not safe. Earlier a Muslim was killed in Dadri for eating beef but the

government took action very late.

IV

Minority ministry budget enhanced

According to Hamara Samaj (February 29), Union budget has made provision of Rs 3827 crore for the

next financial year which is Rs 91 crore more than the last year. Last year the budget was at Rs 3,736

crore. Union minority affairs minister Najma Heptulla expressed hope that development of Muslim

would be faster while former minority affairs minister K Rahman Khan criticized the budget


allocation. He said that the money allocated was less and it would not help serving the purpose.

Muslim Personal Law Board member Kamal Farooqi said that actually the budget amount was

decreased as a substantial amount of the money would be spent on subsidy on Haj. Earlier this

budget was spent by the External affairs ministry but since Haj pilgrimage department has been

given to minority ministry therefore this amount will have to be managed by it. Another Muslim

leader Zafar Mehmood said that the way number of minority students was increasing it would be

difficult to make scholarship available to everyone and Muslims would become backward in

education.

V

Muslim vote bank drifts away from the SP

According to Aalmi Sahara (February 27), Samajwadi Party that performed very well in Panchayat

elections is facing difficulties in Assembly by-elections. The SP was able to win just one seat out of

three. Two seats have gone out of its hand. Bikapur Assembly seat in Faizabad district fell vacant after

the death of its MLA Mitrasen while the other two by-elections were in Western UP. They included

Muzaffarnagar and Deoband. Muzaffarnagar seat was vacated after the death of Chitranjan Swaroop

while Deoband seat fell vacant due to death of former minister Rajendra Rana. Muzaffarnagar seat has

gone to BJP and Deoband seat was snatched away by the Congress. The SP got unprecedented success

in 2012 Assembly elections and formed the government with full majority. But the party had to face a

drubbing in 2014 Lok Sabha elections and all citadels of Mulayam Singh Yadav were demolished in

Modi tsunami. After Lok Sabha elections out of 11 Assembly by-elections 8 were won by the SP.

However, it is clear that these three elections would not impact the Uttar Pradesh government but it is

clear that vote bank of Samajwadi Party is eroding. Muslims are switching side in Uttar Pradesh whiles

in Western Uttar Pradesh Muslims are now keeping distance from Samajwadi Party. Anger of Muslims

is clearly visible from the Muzaffarnagar and Deoband seats. The BJP has been successful in snatching

Muzaffarnager seat in the Jat-dominated area. The BJP was successful in getting Jat, Thakur and Saini

votes in Saharanpur despite being at the third place. On Deoband seat Mawia Ali got 51 thousand votes

and the BJP stood third at 45 thousand votes. The Congress has won this seat because except en-mass

votes of Muslims it got secular Hindu votes and Dalits as well. Had Dinesh Tejan not been expelled

from the BSP and would not have contested election, Deoband seat would have also gone to BJP.

Dinesh got 16000 votes. Bikapur seat has gone to the SP because Mitrasen's son Anand Sen was fielded

from there getting sympathy votes. But Chitranjan Swaroop's son Gaurav Bansal in Muzaffarnagar

and Meena Rani the widow of Rajendra Rana in Deoband could not capitalize on the situation. The BJP

en-cashed riots in Muzaffarnagar however this was also used in Deoband but Sangeet Som failed to

polarize voters on religious lines. Interesting thing is that the SP was unable to stop Thakur, Saini and


Jat votes going to the BJP kitty. This has been the case of Saharanpur where minister Sahib Singh Saini

failed to get Saini votes to the SP. Whatever votes the SP got was either due to influence of Rajendra

Rana and Rashid Masood. The SP failed to manage Muslim votes on these seats. This was the reason

that it faced failure in Muzaffarnagar and Deoband. If these three by-elections are analyzed one thing is

clear that Muslim voters are angry with the SP. Asaduddin Owaisi fielded a Dalit from Bikapur

constituency who had got more votes than the BJP. This is a warning bell for the SP. As per informed

sources Owaisi is getting close to Mayawati and want to contest 2017 elections with the help of BSP. If

Mayawati agrees then Dalits and Muslims can drive the SP away from the power. Muslims in Uttar

Pradesh are annoyed with the SP as it failed to check riots in Uttar Pradesh. It also failed to rehabilitate

riot victims in the state. Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav did not make any provision

for Muslims in his last budget. It is a difficult question to answer that how the SP will be able to keep

Muslims to their side in such a situation.

Special Report on Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind

Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind : An Extremist Wahabi

organization

Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind organized a National Unity Conference in Delhi in which speeches made were

deplorable. Congress leader and leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Gulam Nabi Azad caused

sensation by equating Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh with ISIS. The conference was organized in the

name of national integration where leaders of the Congress and pseudo secular leaders especially

targeted Sangh Pariwar and the Modi government.

According to Roznama Rashtriya Sahara (March 14), president of Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind Arshad

Madani said that environment of the country was communally surcharged. Minority people would

sacrifice their lives to keep their religion and identity intact. People asking for certificate of patriotism

must tell that what their contribution in the freedom movement was. Madani supported JNU president

Kanhaiya Kumar by saying that it would not be allowed for the RSS to thrust its ideology in

educational institution. There was tension all across ever since the Modi government came to power.

Intellectuals are returning their awards. Madarsa, which were part of the freedom struggle, are being

targeted. Even churches are not spared by Sanghies. Saffron people are occupying administrative

positions and implicating Muslims on false charges. Congress president Mrs Sonia Gandhi sent her

message for the occasion signed in Urdu.

What is Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind?

was set up by Maulana Mohammad Husain Madani and Obaidullah Sindhi etc

and was a purely Muslim organization which was associated with the dangerous Wahabi organization

of Saudi Arabia. The only target of this organization was to establish Islamic rule in India. Generally

workers of these organizations claim that they were not political worker but the organization had been

in the role of B team of the Congress. After independence general secretary of the outfit Maulana

Hafizurahman four times contested Parliamentary elections. While one of its presidents Asad Madani

was sent to Rajya Sabha on Congress ticket. The Congress has been using this organization for wooing

Muslim votes. Whenever Congress lost power it took help of Jamiat to target the government of the

day. In 1978, Jamiat had undertaken 'Save Minority Campaign' during Janata rule. When Atal Bihari

Vajpayee came to power it had started a nation-wide campaign. With Narendra Modi government at

the helm, this organization started a free-RSS campaign in India.

Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind

Cover Story


Background

Leaders of Jamiat Ulama often emphasize that they

played very vital role in freedom struggle of the

country. However, the reality is that this extremist

organization tried to establish Islamic rule in India

with the help of Islamic nation.

Wahabi extremist in Saudi Arabia might have

started in 17th century but it was present in India

long ago. Muslim Ulama have always been putting

pressure on Muslim rulers for tough Islamic

administration. According to historians, when

Emperor Akbar tried to be little liberal then Mujahid

Aalif Sani Ahmed Sarhindi announced jihad against

Akbar and his army had a clash with Mughal army

at several places. This rebellion was crushed by

Akbar and Sheikh Sirhindi was imprisoned in

Gwalier fort. After the death of Akbar jihadi

elements became emboldened and forced Shah

Jahan to be tough on Hindus. Aurangzeb was puppet in the hands of these Islamic terrorists and

started torturing Hindus. Several Hindu temples were destroyed and lakhs of people were converted

to Islam by the power of sword. Later on when Islam became weak in India and Marathas dominated

north India then another bearer of Sirhindi tradition Abdul Haq Dehelvi invited Ahmed Shah Abdali

to attack India from Afghanistan. Abdali defeated Marathas in the battle of Panipat but he looted the

country and had gone back.

According to Muslim historians, Abdul Haq Dehelvi got education along with Abdul Wahab of Mecca

who propounded Wahabi sect. After reaching India he propagated Wahabism in India. Waliullah was

his son whose disciple was Rashid Ahmed Gangohi. Founder of Darul Uloom, Deoband Maulana

Qasim Nanotavi was disciple of these radicals. This is the reason that Deobandis are associated with

Wahabi sect. After the failure of freedom struggle of 1857, British rulers felt that Muslims are

regrouping to oust British by armed rebellion. So the British government arrested 1500 Wahabi

maulvies. Dozens of cases like Ambala conspiracy cases, Lucknow conspiracy cases, Patna conspiracy

cases were started in which 2000 maulvies were sentenced to death.

When founder of Jamiat Ulama visited Mecca he was given a silken handkerchief with secret message

engraved in Arabic in which Muslim leaders were instructed issuing fatwa for Muslims to start jihad in

India to establish Islamic rule. British rulers arrested Madani as soon as he reached India.

Maulana Mohammad Husain Madani


Formation of Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind

Jamiat Ulama was established in 1919 during the

Khilafat Conference organized in Delhi by

Maulana Mehmood Hasan and its first president

was Mufti Azam Maulana Kifayatullah. In the

Malabar region of Kerala Hindus were massacred

and over 50 thousand Hindus were converted to

Islam forcefully. Four thousand Hindus were

killed and women were raped. Strange thing is

that instead of criticizing these rioters they

joined hands with them. The communal

character of Jamiat could well be assessed by

this incidence.

After independence Jamiat leaders enjoyed the

power along with the Congress. Leaders of this

organization openly supported Bangladeshi

infiltrators in northeastern India.

Wealth and property is a very dangerous thing

and this is the reason money and fight for control over the organization caused at least five splits in it.

The first split took place when Maulana Asad

Madani tried to remove all in all of Darul Uloom

Deoband Maulana Qari Taib. Split after this was

between Asad Miyan and vice president

Aliqurahman. Mufti Saheb formed a parallel Jamiat

and he was supported by Jamate Islami. Jamate

Islami formed an organization consisting of 14

parties and fielded over 100 candidates and two got

elected. But splitting spree of Jamiat continued.

Several important leaders were parting ways due to

differences with Asad Madani. But after the death of

Asad Madani dispute between his half brother and

Mahmood Madani son of Asad Madani started and

the result was that both of them formed parallel

organizations but the interesting thing is that both

the organizations have their headquarters at

madarsa Abdul Nabi. It is interesting to mention

here that both uncle and nephew are racing against

each other to get proximity of the Congress high command. Mahmood Madani joined Rashtriya Lok

Dal of Ajit Singh due to despondency and was sent to Rajya Sabha. Arshad Madani continued to align

with the Congress. Both the groups were against each other during the last Assam elections. Mehmood

Madani supported Badruddin Ajmal and supported candidates fielded by All India United

Democratic Front against the Congress. Arshad Madani canvassed for the Congress. During Assembly

elections in Uttar Pradesh Arshad Madani was with the Congress but he failed to get votes casted in

favour of the Congress.

Jamiat Ulama has a trump card known as Darul Uloom, Deoband which is second best educational

institute in the world for Muslims. Madani family has its dominance over this institution from the

beginning. Imam and Mufti in mosques across the country got education from this institution so they

play important role during every elections to appeal Muslims to cast their votes in favour of the

Congress.

Gift of property worth crores of rupees

Jamiat leaders had taken the price for supporting the

Congress. Pandit Nehru gifted a property worth Rs

20 thousand crore ignoring every rule book. This

property is situated at ITO and is one of the costliest

localities in Delhi. The property was with

Archeological Survey of India from the past 100

years. This was built by Abdul Nabi the chief Qazi of

Mughal emperor Akbar. As per the law, if any

property is taken over by Archeological Survey of

India it cannot be given back but Pandit Nehru

handed this property over to his friend Asad Madani

ignoring every rule. The property has around 17

acres of land worth around Rs 20 thousand crore.

Now it is Jamiat headquarters. This was opposed in

Parliament on several occasions but Congress did not

pay any heed to it. Several Muslim leaders have been

alleging Jamiat leaders for misappropriation.

Informed sources said that founder of

Maulana Husain Madani was a poor person before coming to politics. But today the family is

worth billions of moveable and immoveable properties spreading across several states like Uttar

Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Assam. Madani family used to get funds from

British to publish English newspaper and this fund was misappropriated by Jamiat and no English

newspaper ever got published.

education from Darul Uloom Deoband still

whenever he came to India he was treated as guest of

Madani either in Delhi or Deoband. Arshad Madani

organized several programme in his honour at five

star hotels. Fazlur Rahman is considered to be

Independence of Balochistan echoes in the US

According to Munsif (February 14), a bill has been introduced in the US Parliament in which it was

said that demand for independence of Balochistan in Pakistan is very strong. So the US must force it

and Pakistan must do a plebiscite there. In this proposal it was also mentioned that the Pakistan

government was denying fundamental rights of Balooch people. However the external affairs minister

of the US denied having its any relations to the bill. But a section of people in the US is demanding an

independent Balochistan. Attempt is being made in the US for independence of Balochistan. They

want to recognize it as an independent nation. Actually the US wants to use Balochistan in case

Pakistan gets out of the influence of the US. Balochistan is strategically, economically and politically

very important. Balochistan is the biggest province of the Pakistan as far as area is concerned. It is more

or less half of the Pakistan. But its population is very less and around 90 lakh people live there. This

place is full of minerals, gas, petrol and other precious minerals. Till 1947 Balochistan was not part of

British India instead the region had many princely states which included Kalat, Khazan, Makran and

Hasbela. Just two days before independence of Pakistan Nawab of Kalat Meer Ahmed Yaar Khan

declared his independence and he was supported by Balooch chieftains. Later on Pakistan sent its

army to capture it. Condition of Balooch is deteriorating by the day. The region is dominated by

Punjabies and they are using wealth of the region. Baloochi tribals instigated people against the

government. Balooch people are complaining that their natural resources are being used by Punjabies

and local people are being deprived of it. In recent times the demand for independent Balooch is

increasing. A section of Pakistani people feel that if this issue is ignored it might become dangerous for

Pakistan. Like Bangladesh it too becomes independent. Intention of Pakistan is to make Balochistan as

its base to target Iran. Besides that Pakistan wants to keep its control over it so Gwader port, which was

developed with the help of China, will help remain in contact with China and West Asia. Iran too is

eying Balochistan and it wants its puppet government there so it could use minerals of Afghanistan

and other countries. This is the reason Iran is supporting Free Balochistan movement by helping such

elements present there. It is reported that number of supporters of free Balochistan movement is

increasing very fast. During General Pervez Musharraf's period one of the main supporters of

Balochistan movement Abdul Khan Bhugtoi was killed by Army. But this has intensified the

movement instead of getting suppressed. American strategists are emphasizing that this is very

important to support Balochistan by dividing Pakistan in order to stop China reaching Arabian Sea. By

this way the US will be able to establish its influence in Afghanistan and Iran besides containing China.

According to Siyasat (February 26), Iranian army was in the killing spree of male members along the

border villages of Pakistan. The government sources claimed that since people of these villages were

indulged in smuggling of narcotics so they were killed. While the newspaper claimed that Sunni

people of Balochistan state of Iran were opposing the Shia government so Iranian Army attacked the

village killing them.

Madarsa in North Waziristan become terror den

Afghan refugees are responsible who escaped Afghanistan in 2001 to reach Pakistan. All these

madarsa give terror training and they are factory of bomb making. These Islamic madarsa are also

involved in brainwashing Muslim youths to make them human bombs. There are basement building

in several mosques and madarsa where arrangements for training is made besides their stay. Aziz said

that Pakistani army is taking action against these dens. He alleged that Islami Jihadi want to capture

government in Pakistan. In the past 14 years around 60 thousand people became victim of terrorism

that included 10 thousand security personals. He said that due to terrorist activities Pakistan lost $100

million.

of Denmark where only women would be allowed to offer namaj. Imam of this mosque would also be a

woman. The mosque has been named as Mariam Mosque. Credit for building this mosque goes to one

author Sherin Khan. Father of this woman is a Syrian while her mother was from Finland. Sherin

accepted that some people criticized building a separate mosque for women. But she denied that any

terrorist organization threatened her for building separate mosque for women. She said if male wanted

to build their own mosque they would not have any objection.

Several arrests in Pakistan over Pathankot attack

Siyasat on February 24 published a report in which it was said that as per interior ministry of Pakistan

several people have been arrested by the police by raiding in the Pakistan side of Punjab. Arrested

people have been sent to undisclosed location for questioning. According to the Pakistan government,

sometimes ago India made several phone numbers available to the Pakistan government. Pakistan

security agencies raided across the country on that basis. Spokesperson accepted that several

suspected people have gone underground and they switched off their phones. This is to recall that the

Pakistan government had lodged an FIR for Pathankot terror attack. After that arrest started. As per the

Indian government information seven terrorists were killed in this attack and they were associated

with Pakistani terrorist organization Jais-e-Mohammad. India held Maulana Masood Azhar as the

main accused in this matter and alleged that his brother Rauf and other participated in this attack. As

per reports in Dawn, Pakistan SIT might come to India to investigate the matter.

VI

Education of Rohingya Muslim banned

According to Munsif (February 26), the Myanmar government banned education of Rohingya

Muslims. As per the government sources, there are around 8 lakh children getting education in over a

dozen of rehabilitation camp. The Myanmar government decided that madarsa would not be allowed

in these camps. Due to this reason 80 per cent children are remaining uneducated. In Rakhain, one of

the provinces of Myanmar, last year only two Muslims got bachelor degree while 27 other Rohingya

Muslim students were declared Bangladeshi and subsequently expelled from the university.

Spokesperson of the United Nations claimed that it wanted to open schools in these camps but the

government was not allowing them. Rohingya Muslims have also been banned for not opening any

schools or madarsa. Democratic Voice of Myanmar claimed that the decision of Army administration

banning religious education was continued by the new government. The government said that

Rohingya Muslimss were not Myanmari citizens therefore it was not the responsibility of the

government to provide them education. Muslim organizations of Myanmar say that the Myanmar

government is anti-Muslim so it does not want to allow Muslims to set up madarsa. This is to recall that

some years ago after communal riots erupted, Rohingyas were forcefully taken out of their houses to

lodge into refugee camps. Spokesperson of the government said that people put in the refugee camps

are not citizens of Myanmar so it is not the responsibility of the government to provide education and

other facilities to them.

Revolt in Saudi Arabia

As per a report published in Munsif on February 14, there is a possibility that king of Saudi Arab Shah

Salman bin Abdul al Aziz might relinquish throne. It is said that he wants to step down in favour of his

son and defence minister of Saudi Arabia Mohammad al Saud. But declared Prince Mohammad bin

Naof is an obstacle in his wish. Shah Salman is trying that inheritance board allow him to declare his

son king of Saudi Arabia but the board is not ready to break age old tradition. This is the reason that the

decision of Shah Salman relinquishing thrown is in limbo. The way international oil prices are going

down, it is impacting government coffer. Shias in Saudi Arabia are openly revolting and Iran is openly

helping them. Petroleum minister of Saudi Arabia Ali bin Ibrahim Alnamo resigned. Russia is putting

pressure that oil prices must not be reduced but on the contrary the US is putting pressure on Saudi

Arabia to reduce oil prices. Russian interference in Arabic world is increasing. On one hand Russia is

supporting Basar al Asad government in Syria and on the other hand encouraging Iran. Russia wants

to strengthen its position by instigating Shia and Sunni dispute. Russia wants to increase influence of

Shia in Arab world so it could end influence of the US in the region. Russia is continuing bomb blast in

Syria but interesting thing is that Saudi Arabia and Qatar are also supporting rebels. As far as Saudi

Arabia is concerned, it would be difficult for the present ruler Shah Salman to hand over reigns to his

son because the entire army is with Mohammad bin Naof. Shah Salman had done some reshuffle in the

ministry to make himself strong.

According to Sahafat (February 26), violent protests are taking place in the Shia-majority areas of

Saudi Arabia. This demonstration is taking place against killing of a Shia youth by the Saudi Arabia

police.

for foreign visits and Imambadas of Shia will be properly maintained. According to the government

news agency, home minister of the country informed about the interference of Iran in the internal

matter during meeting with religious leaders, parliamentarians and editors of local newspapers.


This is to recall that rulers of Bahrain belong to Sunni community while majority population belongs to

Shia community. Saudi Arabia provided military help to Bahrain to crush Shia revolt. Bahrain alleged

that Iran was instigating Shias in the country. Home minister of Bahrain said that different

organizations of Bahrain are getting financial help from outside the country and to keep a tab on them a

high-level committee has been constituted. He alleged that Iran is encouraging terrorism therefore

these steps have been taken. The Bahrain government announced sometimes ago that several people

terrorism.

native places. It is said that people recruited forcefully by jihadies are also running away from the

battleground. As per intelligence agencies of the US, the number of fighters from foreign origin

fighting in Syria and Iraq has come down from 31 thousand to 25 thousand. Big numbers of fighters

deployed by Baghdadi in battleground have fled. They included women and minor children. This is to

call of jihad.

women done Burqa and Naqab. Supporting the ban of Naqab and Burqa, teacher of Jamia al Azhar P M

Amna Nosar said that there was no condition of donning Burqa in Islam. This was started by non-

Muslims and it was part of the jewish tradition which was prevailing before advent of Islam. However,

different views are expressed in different parts of Quran which tells women to don decent cloths and

cover their heads. There is no mention of covering face. This is to recall that ban of Burqa was

happening in Egypt all these years. Recently Cairo University banned women students and nurses

donning Burqa. Now law is being made to implement it across the country. Earlier Turkey had already

banned Burqa while several western countries banned donning Burqa.

the US and Syria and supported Russia completely to implement this deal. But the government made it

clear in the same breath that if any military action is taken against the country it will give befitting

reply. UN representative expressed happiness over this compromise. He accepted that to implement

this ceasefire a special force will be constituted. Besides that Syria also announced that Parliamentary

elections would be held in the country on April 13. Earlier there was a compromise reached upon a

temporary ceasefire but it could not have been implemented. The US president decided to implement

ceasefire on the request of Russian president. It has been announced officially that bombardment by

the US, Russia and Syria against terrorist organizations to continue. Opposition leaders of Syria

welcomed this decision. The Saudi Arabian government said that efforts of ceasefire were welcomed

by opposition political parties. The committee also announced that 18 areas of rebels that had been

lying seized by Syrian army were evacuated and prisoners were set free. Saudi spokesperson alleged

that president of Syria is not serious about peace. He wants general elections to be held by involving

people in ceasefire. So control over the government continues.

Statement of Azam Khan

'President House, Taj Mahal and Parliament house

symbol of slavery'

According to Inquilab (February 21), minister in Uttar Pradesh government Mohammad Azam Khan

said while addressing in Rampur that Taj Mahal, President House and Parliament is symbol of slavery.

Taj Mahal must be demolished and when it is demolished I will be leading it. He said that rules of

British and Mughals are before you. When people did not have grains to eat and cloths to wear, the

ruler of the time built Taj Mahal by using government chauffer. British were unable to do anything till

they did not get support of kings, emperors and Nawabs.

According to Hamara Samaj (February 20), leader of Bahujan Samaj Party Dr Tanwir Ahmed Khan

Judge criticizing Personal law targeted

According to Hindustan Express (March 10), recently a Muslim judge in Kerala B Kamal Shah

questioned during a seminar that as per Muslim Personal Law when a male can have four wives why

can't a woman have the same rights. Criticizing his statement, All India Muslim Personal Law Board

member Maulana Mohammad Rahimuddin Ansari said that Muslims were passing through trying

times while self-styled philosophers are talking nonsense against the faith by creating doubt and

hatred. Such people are influenced by the western civilization and have got nothing to do with Islam.

Ansari claimed that Islam allowed men to have four wives but restricted women to have one husband

at a time. If a woman keeps several husbands, it would be against humanity and a child born out of the



wedding would not be known who the father was. He said that all religions would agree on this that

women must have one husband. People suggesting women to have four husbands are saitan and

Sharia and Islam are always eye shore for them. The judge also said that though there was equal right

for men and women in Quran but their role in social lives was different. It is the responsibility of

women to take care of children to run households while men are for earning bread.

Waqf properties under the government control

Roznama Rashtriya Sahara on March 10 claimed that the government and non-government

institutions are occupying waqf properties but Delhi Waqf Board is not doing anything. A builder is

are under illegal occupation of people while 350 properties are under the government occupation.

Neither rent is recovered from them nor are they vacated. According to waqf board, these properties

are occupied by the Central government, Delhi government, Nagar Nigam, NDMC and other

government department. If rent is recovered from these properties millions of rupees could be

recovered which could be used for improving financial health of waqf boards.

American parliamentarians wrote that atrocities against Christians, Muslims and Sikhs were a matter

of concern. The government failed to contain activities of organizations like the RSS. It was also written

in the letter that on June 17, 2014 more than 50 village panchayat in Chhattisgarh passed a resolution

alleging that Christians are being targeted. Conversions are legally banned. Vishva Hindu Parishad

and Bajrang Dal workers are attacking them and they are not being given food and water. They are
