Ameer-e Jamaat strongly condemns killings of Ikhwan by Egyptian army

Posted on 29 July 2013 by Admin_markaz

New Delhi: Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Umari, Ameer (National President) of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, has strongly condemned the killings of members of Ikhwanul Muslimoon (Muslim Brotherhood) by the Egyptian army and terming the killings as extremely immoral and inhuman he demanded the army to stop it immediately.

According to media reports, around three hundred people were massacred in the early morning on Saturday by the Egyptian army which last month sacked the elected constitutional government of President Dr. Mohammad Morsi. Around 6000 people were also wounded in the brutal acts of the army. According to the reports, Cairo University and Jamia Azhar are being evacuated by the Army which looks hell-bent on unleashing brutalities on the supporters of President Morsi. The wounded people are not being provided medicines also.

In a media statement on Sunday, Ameer-e Jamaat said the Egyptian Army had no legal, constitutional and moral right to stage coup against and sack the elected government of Dr. Moris. Therefore, the present government in Egypt is completely illegal but to justify it the army is opening fire on the peaceful protest of Ikhwan and thus is committing heinous crime.

Maulana Umari reminded the Egyptian army that the ancient and modern history of Egypt stands witness to the fact that oppressors on this piece of land have never got success, rather humiliation and shame became their fate. The present army of the Egypt should take lessons from this reality and stop its crimes and seek pardon from Almighty Allah and undo their illegal act by ending its revolt against and restoring the elected government of Dr. Morsi.

Ameer-e Jamaat also appealed to all governments of the world and peace-loving people to take all possible steps to keep the Egyptian army from killing its own countrymen so that democratic values are restored there and atmosphere of peace and justice established

JIH demands high-level probe into all major terror attacks in the country

Posted on 28 July 2013 by Admin_markaz

New Delhi, July 28: Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) has demanded the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government at the Centre to set up high-level probe into all major terror attacks that happened in last 10 years in different parts of the country. Rejecting the assumption of the government and its agencies about a shadowy terror outfit Indian Mujahideen, JIH leaders while addressing mediapersons at Iftar hosted by the organization said there is no such organization in the country and the central government must bring out a White Paper on all the terror attacks in the country.

Addressing a huge gathering of pressmen, mostly from the Muslim community, at Jamaat’s headquarters here on Saturday evening, Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Umari, National President (Ameer) of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind said the government should order high-level probes into all major terror attacks including the Parliament Attack case of 2001 and the Mumbai attack (26/11) of 2008. He was making the demand in the wake of a former home ministry official’s revelations that the Parliament attack and 26/11 could be the handiwork of the then central government. Mr. RVS Mani, former undersecretary, Ministry of Home Affairs, made the disclosures last week giving reference to Gujarat cadre IPS officer Satish Verma who was member of the Gujarat High Court-appointed Special Investigation Team to look into the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case of 2004.

“The recent disclosures of Mr. RVS Mani, former undersecretary, Ministry of Home Affairs, about the terror attacks at Parliament House in Delhi and in Mumbai are very disturbing because these terror attacks have been attributed to the government. If the revelations are wrong then why the government is not ordering any enquiry,” said the JIH leader.

JIH chief Maulana Umari was accompanied by top rank leaders of the organization including Mohammad Jafar, vice president, Nusrat Ali, General Secretary, and several national secretaries including Mohammad Salim Engineer, Ejaz Ahmed Aslam and Mohammad Ahmed.

Jamaat leaders also spoke on the recent court order on Batla House encounter case.

Addressing the media, Mohammad Salim Engineer, National Secretary for Public Relations, said the Jamaat and the entire Muslim community are not satisfied with the verdict of a Delhi court wherein it convicted a lone accused and concluded that the encounter was not fake. He said: “We respect the court order, but will explore ways to challenge it in higher court as we are not satisfied. And that’s why we are again demanding the government to set up a high-level enquiry into the Batla House encounter case.”

When asked what is his message to the Muslim community on this serious issue, Ameer-e Jamaat Maulana Umari said: Obviously we are not happy with the court verdict. However, we would call upon of the masses to respect the order and the leaders of the community should think over measures to get justice in this case.

Commenting on an upcoming law about rights of divorcee women, Mohammad Salim Engineer said the union cabinet has reportedly okayed the bill which, according to media reports, would fix rights of divorcee women in the properties of their former husband. “This is not right. We will oppose this bill as it clearly violates the Shariah law about the rights of divorcee women,” said Mohammad Salim Engineer.

On the existence of shadowy terror outfit Indian Mujahideen, Jamaat leaders categorically said there is no such organization by this name in the country. If there is such organization, they said, then why the government and its agencies have not yet informed the people of the country about its offices and officer bearers.

In response to a question about the custodial death of Khalid Mujahid in Uttar Pradesh, Ameer-e Jamaat Maulana Umari said his organization has given full support to the ongoing dharna in Lucknow demanding justice to Khalid Mujahid. He said the Samajwadi Party government of Uttar Pradesh should explain why it is not implementing the recommendations of the RD Nimesh Commission which had declared Mujahid’s arrest as fake and illegal and recommended action against the guilty police officers.

JIH leaders also expressed deep concern on the deteriorating situation in Egypt where the Army has now filed a case against the ousted president Mohammad Morsi. They said his sacking was against the law and constitution of Egypt and the Army must immediately restore his government.

JIH condemns desecration of Quran and killings by BSF in Kashmir

http://jamaateislamihind.org/eng/jih-condemns-desecration-of-quran-and-killings-by-bsf-in-kashmir/

New Delhi: Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has strongly condemned desecration of Quran, attack on a madrasa and killing of seven people by Border Security Forces in Ramban area of Kashmir, and demanded the government to take stringent action against the guilty soldiers.

In a media statement, Mr. Nusrat Ali, General Secretary, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind said the regular killing of Muslims in Kashmir by police and security forces and taking no stern action against guilty officials strengthens doubt that these killings are part of government policy, which is extremely condemnable and will destroy the peace in Khasmir. Democracy and Justice demand end to the bloody trend.

Jamaat leader also demanded that the families of deceased should be given Rs 50 lakh each. He expressed deep sympathy with the victim families.

Death Sentence to Bangladesh Jamaat leader is a brutal act: Gen. Sec. JIH

http://jamaateislamihind.org/eng/death-sentence-to-bangladesh-jamaat-leader-is-a-brutal-act-gen-sec-jih/

New Delhi, July 17:  Mr. Nusrat Ali, General Secretary, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, has termed as brutal and against justice the death sentence awarded to Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid, General Secretary, Jamaat Islami Bangladesh by the war tribunal set up by the Shaikh Hasina government of Bangladesh. He strongly demanded the Bangladesh government to withdraw all judgments of the so called war tribunal against the leaders of Bangladesh Jamaat Islami and release them with honor.

In a media statement today, Mr. Nusrat Ali said the decisions by Hasina government against the leaders of Bangladesh Jamaat Islami in the holy month of Ramadan may invite wrath of the Almighty and will sully the image of the Muslim country Bangladesh in the world and would destroy its reputation. Therefore, for the welfare and largest interests of Bangladesh, Shaikh Hasina government should keep from brutality and unnecessary revenge and adopt the human and moral values. Mr. Nusrat Ali appealed to the United Nations and all justice-loving people of the world to condemn the inhuman acts of Bangladesh government and take immediate steps to stop them.

Ameer-e- Jamaat condemns conviction of Prof. Ghulam Azam by Bangladesh war tribunal

http://jamaateislamihind.org/eng/ameer-e-jamaat-condemns-conviction-of-prof-ghulam-azam-by-bangladesh-war-tribunal/

Posted on 17 July 2013 by Admin_markaz

New Delhi, July 17: Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Umari, Ameer (National President) of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has strongly condemned the Bangladesh war tribunal for awarding 90 years jail sentence to 90-year-old former Ameer of Bangladesh Jamaat Islami Prof. Ghulam Azam. Terming the anti-Jamaat cases being trialed by the tribunal set up by Prime Minister Shaikh Hasina Wajid as fake and partial, Maulana Jalaluddin Umari said this is part of a larger conspiracy to remove eminent Islamist personalities from the political landscape of Bangladesh.

Ameer-e Jamaat Maulana Umari said the Sheikh Hasina government has failed to prove charges of war crime of 1971 against the senior Islamic leader of Bangladesh, and the tribunal which has awarded the cruel sentence has not been considered as international standard by the United Nations.

He demanded the Bangladesh government to revoke sentences against the Islamist personalities of the country and release them with honor. Ameer-e Jamaat has appealed to all justice-loving nations, organizations and people to raise voice against the brutal act of the Bangladesh government.

Govt behind Parliament attack, 26/11: Ishrat probe officer

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Govt-behind-Parliament-attack-26/11-Ishrat-probe-officer/articleshow/21062116.cms
TNN | Jul 14, 2013, 12.30 AM IST
NEW DELHI: In what is certain to escalate the already vicious fight between the CBI and theIB over the IshratJahan "fake encounter case", a former home ministry officer has alleged that a member of the CBI-SIT team had accused incumbent governments of "orchestrating" the terror attack on Parliament and the 26/11 carnage in Mumbai.

R V S Mani, who as home ministry under-secretary signed the affidavits submitted in court in the alleged encounter case, has said that Satish Verma, until recently a part of the CBI-SIT probe team, told him that both the terror attacks were set up "with the objective of strengthening the counter-terror legislation (sic)".

Mani has said that Verma "...narrated that the 13.12. 2001(attack on Parliament) was followed by Pota (Prevention of Terrorist Activities Act) and 26/11 2008 (terrorists' siege of Mumbai) was followed by amendment to the UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act)."

The official has alleged Verma levelled the damaging charge while debunking IB's inputs labelling the three killed with Ishrat in the June 2004 encounter as Lashkar terrorists.

Contacted by TOI, Verma refused to comment. "I don't know what the complaint is, made when and to whom. Nor am I interested in knowing. I cannot speak to the media on such matters. Ask the CBI," said the Gujarat cadre IPS officer who after being relieved from the SIT is working as principal of the Junagadh Police Training College.

Mani, currently posted as deputy land and development officer in the urban development ministry, has written to his seniors that he retorted to Verma's comments telling the IPS officer that he was articulating the views of Pakistani intelligence agency ISI.

According to him, the charge was levelled by Verma in Gandhinagar on June 22 while questioning Mani about the two home ministry affidavits in the alleged encounter case.

In his letter to the joint secretary in the urban development ministry, Mani has accused Verma of "coercing" him into signing a statement that is at odds with facts as he knew them. He said Verma wanted him to sign a statement saying that the home ministry's first affidavit in the Ishrat case was drafted by two IB officers. "Knowing fully well that this would tantamount to falsely indicting of (sic) my seniors at the extant time, I declined to sign any statement."

Giving the context in which Verma allegedly levelled the serious charge against the government, Mani said the IPS officer, while questioning him, had raised doubts about the genuineness of IB's counter-terror intelligence. He disputed the veracity of the input on the antecedents of the three killed in June 2004 on the outskirts of Ahmedabad with Ishrat in the alleged encounter which has since become a polarizing issue while fuelling Congress's fight with Gujarat CM Narendra Modi.

Gujarat Police has justified the encounter citing the IB report that Pakistani nationals Zeeshan Zohar, Amzad Ali Rana and Javed Sheikh were part of a Lashkar module which had reached Gujarat to target Modi and carry out terrorist attacks.

In its first affidavit, filed in August 2009, the home ministry had cited IB inputs that those killed with Ishrat in the alleged encounter were part of a Lashkar sleeper cell, and had objected to a CBI probe into the "encounter".

In its second affidavit, filed in September 2009, the home ministry, irked by the Gujarat government treating the first affidavit as justification of the encounter, said the IB input did not constitute conclusive proof of the terrorist antecedents of those killed. It supported the demand for a CBI probe.

Mani said Verma doubted the input saying MHA's first affidavit was actually drafted by IB officer Rajinder Kumar, who looked after IB's operations in Gujarat at the time of Ishrat "encounter" and now runs the serious risk of being chargesheeted by the CBI for hatching the conspiracy behind the alleged extra-judicial killings.

Mani said Verma stuck to his guns even after being told that the home ministry did not need outside help. The former home ministry official said Verma insisted that the "input" was prepared after the encounter.

Letter from Muslim Youth - No fiction but facts

http://twocircles.net/2013jul06/%E2%80%AAletter_muslim_youth_no_fiction_facts.html

Submitted by admin4 on 6 July 2013 - 12:46am

Dear Indians,

You should not be wondering who I am because my name is Rehan Ansari similar to Ahmed or Saeed or Mirza and I am not fictionalizing it. My English may not be as good or I may not appear as intelligent as many of my fellow Indians coming from convents. Still I have a heart which cries and eyes that flows/weep.

During election all parties remember me, some only to provoke my opposition whereas most others as my benefactor. But in the last sixty year I have been pushed to the brink in all spheres of life- courtesy our secular democratic rulers. Then I'm informed through high powered committees that I am the most backward, illiterate, poor and what not - even worse than those who have been deprived of respectable life for ages.
How could I reach such a pass in just sixty years is a riddle with which our sociologist/intellectuals/historians will debate for a long but for me it is not difficult to imagine as I am made to live my fate.

My history begins with our independence when my beloved country was bifurcated (later trifurcated) on communal lines. A great concerted effort was made to make all believe that I shall be made responsible for the path chosen by the stalwarts of freedom struggle. Consequently started large scale communal riots in the early decades causing innumerable economic damage to me. My life, property and prospect became booty to the rioters, most oftenly guided by those who were supposed to protect me. In the ensued frenzy more rioters were mobilised, yatras organised with sole aim of demoralising me to lose my self esteem, self confidence and self reflect. Then the Secular Parties Cap-walllas establish to handover me my report card. But never care to empower us by political representation.

On the other hand “Non-Cap Wallas”-once-communal parties, whose existence depends on our opposition, halt every step, however small it is, in the name of Muslim Appeasement. They Organize Yatras, to demolish Mosque, supervise our genocide, Jailed and Encountered our Youth in a COLD BLOOD or would I say in a well planned way. They deny our right to get justice that led the Supreme Court to order a hearing in the other states. First they plan to encounter us and then plan how to sabotage the case. They claim of development, but what’s the use of it without the security of life, free will and equal opportunity if not a helping hand.

I know the fact these lip services and hypocrisies of Political parties are not limited to the Muslims but our fellow Indians are suffering the same problems.
Despite all these, there are Muslim Achievers in almost every field because of their hard work, entrepreneurship and support from the inherent legacy of helping others in our community. Opportunities created by the free economy and most of all the unending support of my fellow Indians, their sense of Justice as human being helped us grow.

I know that most of the Muslim political leader doesn’t have a public base but dropped in our community from the high command. They sing their party’s song and expect us to dance on it. Our Social and religious leadership lacks knowledge and vision. Scarcity of resources and lack of faith among themselves added to our misery.

I am not frustrated but deeply saddened and scared with the daily state of affairs in our country. I am scared of the biased nature of our intelligence and security agencies. They work in tandem to encounter us as can be seen from the leaked CBI chargsheet in Ishrat Jahan case. Despite the expose, of the involvement of right wing forces belong to Non Cap Wallas’ Parviar, in terror cases, I am afraid of getting arrested after every terrorist attack. I am scared to use Mobile, facebook, twitter or other social networking tools because I might get arrested when I speak against some Thackrey. Freedom of Expression is only permitted when someone abuses our beloved Prophet, Sacred book or great religion.

May be I am being too harsh but the Truth is mostly bitter. I have a wonderful religion and I know many interpretations. I know our religious leaderships come from Madarsas of different sects who are ill- educated to satisfy the educated young mind. They need to learn that the differences among sects are the flexibility allowed in Islam. There is lots of scope for Ijtehad- Interpretations according to the prevailing condition that makes this religion Universal.

We like to be left alone to settle these disputes of interpretation. There can be different explanation of constitution like many courts in our country construe our constitution or applying of law differently. There is always a chance for improvement.

I know Islam and Muslims are used by our political parties to come into existence-read Non Cap Wallas or once- communal parties. I also know that Islam is used globally by some dominant and powerful countries for their energy security. But History will prove their deception.

I know I am hanged to satisfy the collective conscience whereas a terror accused belonging to the Parivars- are paid by our government. My Haj subsidies to be phased out but Bonus are distributed on Diwali. Many other religious Melas, fares, Yatras get government support. My mosques first demolished and then decided to be divided but no punishment for the conspirators. I am also affected by the Corruption, Poverty, hunger, Female Foeticides. But my voice against all these evils did not create sensation hence not covered by our national media.

Yes I require all types of affirmative action to uplift my community. I need Reservations in Education and Employment because I am left behind or in other words to become competent. I need Scholarship because don’t have money to get my livelihood. Need to be kept in Priority Lending Sector by the banks to venture in to small scale business so that I can add up something in the national GDP.

Affirmative actions are not appeasement but Justice for the weaker section of the society. Justice is more important to bring equality and prosperity for all in the society. Above all I need respect, love and security for my life and my family.

My hope lies in my belief in Allah, creator of not only me but the whole universe including, Cap- Wallas , Non- Cap-Wallas and their Parivar. I also believe that the intrinsically just and secular credentials not of any politician but my fellow countrymen will prevail. They will provide security to my life, will fight with me for justice, and will help us grow with them if not polarized by the politicians on communal line.

A fellow Indian wants me to save from the clutches of religious (Islamic) fundamentalism but advocates for Positive Hindutva. He might get some vastanvis, sareshwalas, and siddiquis around Modi but for general Muslims, BJP and Modi is like a saying in Hindi, Karela upar se Neem Chadha, it means “Neem coated Bitter Melon” How can one have it?

May Allah bring Peace, Harmony and Prosperity to our country. Amen!

Rehan Ansari
