JIH pitches for Babri Masjid

Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) on Tuesday reiterated that it would continue its struggle for the construction of Babri Masjid at the place where it existed before. The JIH ruled out any out-of-court settlement.

Maulana Jalaluddin Umari, national president of JIH, said that it has been 25 years since the gruesome Babri Masjid demolition took place.

“The JIH, in cooperation with the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board, human rights organisations and justice loving people from all religions will continue the peaceful, legal struggle for reconstruction of the mosque,” Maulana Umari said.

The JIH president also expressed concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the country.

“Organised violence being perpetuated in an orchestrated way against the Muslim community is a matter of concern. It shows the communal bias in the state’s administration. In Uttar Pradesh, the recent incident that sparked during the ‘Tiranga Yatra’ is an example of failure of the administration and police,” Maulana Umari said.

The JIH expressed its concerns over the random arrests of Muslim youth subsequently after the violence. On the triple talaq issue, Maulana Umari said that the JIH feels that the Central government is unnecessarily introducing the Parliament.

“The Bill goes against Article 25 of the Constitution of India that guarantees freedom and also against the recent judgments of the Supreme Court,” he sai.

Umari further said that after the recent Supreme Court judgment on triple talaaq, there was absolutely no need for the Bill.

Meanwhile, the JIH welcomed the recent visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Palestine. Bill in
