Adopted at the National Meeting of All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat
Date: 21st September, 2024
The joint meeting if Markazi Majlis e Aamla (national executive) and the Markazi Majlis Mushawarat (General Body) of the All India Muslim Majlis e Mushawarat express its strong displeasure, concern and condemns the creation a parallel outfit hijacking the name of All India Muslim Majlis e Mushawarat and attempts to usurp Organisations registrations.
At a juncture when unity in community is dire need of the time, nobody can deny that attempts are being made by enemies of the community to weaken community’s Organisations and the attempt to create dissension in Mushawarat seems to be a ploy of the enemies of community.
The small caucus behind this illegal activity is led by Dr. Zafarul Islam Khan, former president, who was expelled with all due process from Mushawarat for unethical acts of usurping the intellectual property including write-ups, photographs, correspondence etc. to be included in the materials particularly in “Mushawarat Documents” to be published and released on the occasion of organization’s golden jubilee celebrations held in 2015. Unfortunately, the former president who received such documents and supervised the collection of the said documents as the president of AIMMM as per the mandate of the resolutions of the Markazi Majlis Aamla, unauthorizedly gave its copyrights to his own publishing house without any legal sanctity of AIMMM.
After several unsuccessful attempts of the national executive and that of the general body to convince the former president, Dr. Zafarul Islam Khan to return the received and compiled documents on behalf of AIMMM, Dr. Zafarul Islam Khan was expelled from organisation for his unethical, illegal and criminal act of usurping the same.
It is noteworthy to mention that as per the names in the press release of Dr. Zafarul-Islam Khan (only) 11 members of the general body of AIMMM had participated in the illegal convened meeting in 9th July 2024 in New Delhi along with another 12 former members who ceased to be AIMMM members because of their inactivity including the failure to attend mandatory meetings for more than two consecutive years and depositing their annual fees for the same tenure as per the mandatory constitutional requirements for continuing as member of AIMMM inspite of reminders sent to them.
The illegal act of creating a parallel group usurping AIMMM’s registration is indeed a criminal act and can attract a criminal case. A legal remedy to stop the illegal acts by this caucus will be explored if attempts of persuasions to stop using AIMMM’s legacy and nomenclature fails.
The meeting of AIMMM is of the firm view that the application for membership to those whose membership was ceased because of non- attendance or failure to deposit their annual dues will be sympathetically and favorably considered as per the Dastoor of the AIMMM if they reapply with an assurance that they will attend organization’s meeting as mandated in the constitution.
