JUH President Criticizes Efforts to Undermine Muslim Identity

JUH president Mahmood Madani alleges organized efforts to diminish Muslim identity and influence in India through actions like mob lynching and economic boycotts. He criticizes the judiciary's role, highlighted by controversial decisions like the Babri Mosque verdict, and emphasizes the preservation of Muslim Waqf and religious autonomy.

On Saturday, Maulana Mahmood Madani, president of Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind (JUH), voiced concerns over "organised efforts" to assert the dominance of one group in India. Citing issues like bulldozer actions and mob lynching, Madani highlighted a systematic weakening of Muslim Waqf and Islamic reforms.

Madani expressed unease regarding the perceived pressure on the judiciary, particularly following the Babri Mosque verdict. He stressed that the Supreme Court's integrity is vital and should not be compromised by governmental influence, urging adherence to judicial duties.

Addressing the JUH governing body, Madani denounced governmental interference in religious affairs, vowing to resist legal overreach on Waqf matters. He emphasized the need to preserve Muslim identity and oppose legislation harming Islamic institutions.
