Alert against GIO is defamatory and unconstitutional
Mumbai, 31st March, 2013
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind is
a Socio-Religious Organisation working for Peace, justice and upliftment of
Education and Moral values in India. Whereas Girls Islamic Organisation GIO, is
its daughter Organisation, instituted to provide them
both Islamic and modern education. It
also aims to cultivate values and ideals among the coming generation on Islamic
lines.
The
Special Branch of Maharashtra Intelligence has issued a defamatory notice
against Girls Islamic Organization (GIO) and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind. It is a result
of the communal minds intruded in our Administrative, Intelligence and Security
agencies.
This
alert is a part of the International Conspiracy to malign and demonize Islam
and Muslims. It will damage Muslim’s image, already under cloud, and will lead
to the alienation of Muslims in India. It will also create a sense of fear and
hatred among other Indians and will definitely harm the already fragile
communal harmony.
Hence,
we are taking very serious note of this and seeking legal opinion to defend our
constitutional rights and our image as well.
We
like to inspect, If Maharashtra intelligence agencies have any inputs against
us and are ready for any kind of investigation and scanning at any point of
time. At the same time we will not allow them to tarnish the image of Jamaat-e-Islami
Hind and its sister organizations or of Muslims any further.
Statement
of Sanjay Shintre Deputy Commissioner Special Branch, Mumbai, infamous for
raids in Muslim Pockets in the name of Bangladeshis, is irresponsible, derogatory
and Unconstitutional. Will he issue the same alerts for Sadhvis and Nuns who
are practicing Hinduism and Christianity in this modern world?
Practicing
and Preaching of religion is a fundamental right guaranteed under our
constitution & can’t be a base to issue alerts.

The Mumbai
Police Special Branch(SB)— I has issued a circular, alerting the city’s
police force about the possibility of highly-trained women militants
posing a threat to the city.
The group, identified in the circular as Girls’ Islamic Organisation (GIO), is a part of the 65-year-old Jamaat-e -Islami Hind and is said to be currently undergoing training in Kerala. “The group is being instructed mostly in the Quran and Hadis under their commanders,” the notice states, adding that the main purpose of the organisation is to tap extremist elements in schools and colleges in India.

However, when SUNDAY MiD DAY contacted the Jamat office, an official spokesperson vehemently denied the allegations and said they were planning to sue the Mumbai police for making defamatory statements against them. The SB circular actually names Sahela Baji as the head of the group’s Maharashtra unit. Another woman, Sumaiyya Muslim, is said to be readying the group for Jihad.
The group has a Facebook page with 3,177 likes and is regularly updated. “This is a one-of-a-kind group, which involves women. We have alerted all the police stations and the units across the state,” said a senior officer from the Special Branch on condition of anonymity. When contacted Additional commissioner of police Naval Bajaj refused to comment on the issue stating that they had no information on such an alert. However Mumbai Police’s official spokesperson Satyanarayan Chaudhary said, “The circulars issued by Special Branch are confidential.”
Jamat-e-Islami Hind angry at accusations
“We are not a violent organisation. Our job is to connect with Muslims across the country and do good work. We work for social reforms and fight for women’s rights too. We do believe in Jihad, but in non-violent, spiritual Jihad. We are considering legal action against the Mumbai police,” said Tauffiq Aslam Khan, president of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, the parent body of GIO.
