Mushawarat expresses it concern over spurt of violence in Jammu and Kashmir

New Delhi: All India Muslim Majlis e Mushawarat (AIMMM), the federation of prominent Muslim organisations and individuals of Indian Muslims, expressed its concern on recent cycle of violence in Jammu &Kashmir including the ambush on army vehicle in Rajouri district by the terror group, the killing of the civilians in custody of the security forces and killing of former SSP, Muhammad Shafi Mir. It is rateable that his security was withdrawn. These terror attacks in the union territory has undoubtably proved that even after abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of erstwhile state, Modi Government’s tall claim of restoring peace and normalcy in the troubled Jammu and Kashmir not only stand exposed but also established that the security situation at the ground level has not changed even after more than four years of the abrogation of the Article 370 and also it indicates that terrorists and terror modules are operating freely in J&K and the speeded terror incident contradicted government s narrative of peace as the real and alarming situation in Jammu and Kashmir is being brushed under the carpet. AIMMM also expressed serious concern over killing of three civilians during interrogation by the security forces and considering it as a matter of grave concern because the killings further alienate the local population. Although the state administration and the army has announced an investigation but AIMMM is of the firm view that the killings need to be investigated not only by the Army but also by a senior civil judge so that truth is unravelled. Though sector commander and other senior officers of the security forces have been shifted to other places, the incident itself shows that inhuman approach was adopted by the security agencies during the interrogation of innocent local youths after the terrorist attack. The incident has genuinely created a sense of fear as well as insecurity among the people as two of the three civilians killed in custody had worked for security forces for the long-time before the gory incident. Although the police have filed a FIR in this case, Mushawarat is quiet hopeful that probe is conducted in the transparent manner so that guilty, whosoever, are punished.   

The AIMMM appeals to the international community to play a positive role in preventing Israel from implementing the unjust policies of land grab

New Delhi: Deeply concerned over the escalation of violence between the Israeli forces and the Palestinian people due to the Israeli provocative actions in the West Bank and sacrilege of the Holy Al-Aqsa Mosque, the All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat calls upon all the parties concerned to eschew violence, protect civilians, and prevent further deterioration of the situation. The AIMMM appeals to the international community to play a positive role in preventing Israel from implementing the unjust policies of land grab and expanding settlements in the occupied territories of the West Bank to ensure a two-state solution as per the United Nations resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.

All India Muslim Majlis Mushwarat(AIMMM) severely condemns the Haryana government for its failure to check and contain Nuh communal riots

NewDelhi: The All India Muslim Majlis Mushwarat(AIMMM) today severely condemns the Haryana government for its failure to check and contain Nuh communal riots and demanded that this incident need to be probed by a high level judicial commission.The investigation should should also look into circumstances that led to the violent clashes and the role of the state administration which failed to take preventive steps on time to prevent a communal clash. It is known to everyone that provocative videos were circulated ahead of Braj Mandal yatra by cow vigilante Monu Manesar which resulted in violence .The government failed to take preventive steps on time to prevent a communal clash even fully knowing that a section of people were instigating the people to indulge in violence. Even though Monu Manesar is an absconder he was seen participating in the rally with his supporters who were carrying lathis and firearms The AIMMM said that the purpose of the riots was to create fear among the members of the minority community.Morever, the BJP is using communal card for its political gains. As assembly elections in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh are round the corner the ruling party wants to create communal divide as its leaders feel that this will give the party a political dividend. Those involved in the riots should not be given protection by the authorities.Had the government taken preventive steps in advance, the violence could have been averted.AIMIM also condemns the brutal and heinous attack on women in Manipur. Supreme Court has observed that there was complete failure of State Authorities.AIMIM also condemns the killing by a radical police officer in a running train from Jaipur to Mumbai. He killed his superior office who belonged to Scheduled Caste and three Muslims.We call upon the Hon’ble President of India and the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India to take severe action on all those involved in hate crimes.AIMMM said that need of the hour is to maintain harmony in the country and all peace-loving people should join hands to fight against communal and disruptive forces. India is shining example of diversity and this needs to be preserved and safeguarded.

Apart from discussing organisational matters and passing the budget for 2012-2013, the meeting deliberated on a number of milli, national and international issues and passed a number of resolutions which are as follows:4.5%  Reservation The AIMMM welcomes as a first but inadequate step the 4.5% reservation offered by the Central government to “minority” OBCs which means the share available to the Muslim OBCs out of this quota will be much less as other minorities too are included in this. The AIMMM urges the central government to demarcate and disaggregate the shares of various minorities in this and any other scheme for minorities according to their ratio in each state. The AIMMM urges the central government to include Muslim and Christian Dalits at the earliest in the SC/ST quota, in order to remove a historic injustice.Mishra Commission report The AIMMM urges the central government to quickly move to the urgent and full implementation of the 10% reservation for Muslims recommended by Misra Commission and urges the government to table it in Parliament without any further delay. The AIMMM reiterates that the available reservation should be allocated on the basis of backwardness alone with no share for the creamy layer and well-off sections of the Muslim minority.Gujarat The AIMMM registers its dismay that 10 years down the line, the victims of the state-sponsored pogroms of 2002 are yet to receive justice due to the delaying and obfuscating tactics of the Modi Government. The victims have not been properly rehabilitated and around 60,000 of them are still displaced and continue to live as refugees in their own homeland which is a matter of shame for the whole country. The central government should take the initiative to rehabilitate them inside and outside Gujarat like the migrants of Kashmir. Moreover, the origin of the fire that burnt coach no. 6 of Sabarmati Express is yet to be conclusively probed and established. It is time for the central investigative agencies to go into the origin and reality of this fire in S-6. AIMMM salutes brave people like Zakia Jafari, Teesta Setalvad, Sanjiv Bhatt, Sreekumar and Mukul Sinha who continue the struggle for the victims of Gujarat.Jammu  &  Kashmir AIMMM, after detailed deliberation on the situation in the J&K, is of the view that the present apparent peace is managed by oppression. Murder by security personnel is still treated as
