At Jamiat’s general body meeting held at Lucknow in UP, it was stated the prime minister’s “tacit support to such hate-mongers of the right-wing organisations associated with the RSS” indicated that he was pampering them to continue terrorise one particular community.
Speaking at the meeting Jamiat president Arshad Madani said RSS was a fascist organisation which should be banned immediately. “The RSS was involved in razing the Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992 in Ayodhya.
"Still it has been allowed to continue its communal activities. Its several wings are involved in ghar wapsi, which is not acceptable to the Muslim community at any cost.
"The RSS leaders are frequently saying that India would be a Hindu Rashtra. They want to play with the Constitution of India to vitiate social and political atmosphere of the country,” Madani said.
Interestingly, the meeting was held on the day when the Vishva Hindu Parishad had organised several programmes in Ayodhya on the occasion of Ram Navami.
Madani reminded that India was always a democratic nation where there was liberty to practise any religion. “However, these right-wing organisations want to push the country towards anarchy and bloodbath.
"They have been involved in fascist activities. But Jamiat has resolved to start a nationwide campaign to make people aware of the right of every citizen to practise whichever religion they like. "Nobody can force or lure them to change their religion,” he further said.
It reminded the Samajwadi Party (SP) government of its promise to prevent communal activities in the state and hold local administration directly responsible for any communal riot in an area.
Jamiat didn't spare the ruling SP which has been banking on the Muslim support. Jamiat leaders said the SP should fulfil the promise of 18 per cent reservation for the Muslims in jobs, or be prepared to suffer in the 2017 Assembly elections.
“The SP had promised in its manifesto of 2012 Assembly polls to release the Muslim youths languishing in jails for their alleged involvement in terrorist activities. But no charge-sheet has been filed in many years in these cases.
"The SP had promised to release them soon after coming to power and take action against those police officers who were behind these arrests. "But nothing was done in the last three years to release them,” Jamiat’s resolution read.
It was also decided at the meeting that Jamiat will help the Hashimpura victim’s families in pursuing the cases in court. They declared that it was against the Shariah to put the picture of the woman on the ration cards as head of a family. This system should be abolished immediately, the resolution said.
In a contarary to Jamait's demand, the RSS has once again stressed on the need for a casteless society and respect for women.
Addressing a youth camp in Rohtak, Haryana, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said the caste system must not have any place in the country. He also said disrespecting women was not part of the Indian culture.
The three-day camp, Tarunoday Shivir, is being attended by hundreds of college students from across Haryana. It is part of Sangh’s programmes to reach out to younger generations.
“Caste system and disrespecting women are not part of India's culture,” Bhagwat said at the Pathsaala of the Shivir which began at the Baba Mastnath University in Rohtak. “Highest respect for women and a casteless society have been a part of Indian culture for centuries,” he added.
Bhagwat said Indian economy has its roots in religion, work and salvation. He said RSS has been involved in inculcating these values. “We want India to become a world leader . We can achieve this goal if we are well-versed with the culture and traditions of India. "Studying the geography is not enough. We will have to explore scientific and cultural traditions,” he said.
